Student Computers as an Academic Tool
BRV uses a computer monitoring system called Securly. We have discovered that some websites are specifically designed to work around our security firewalls and protections. We have had a few instances where students are on games that are not approved with our firewall settings. They are able to do this by using a website created specifically to avoid a firewall. As soon as this happens, our IT staff is notified and the website is blocked for all students. The challenge is that within days a new website is used with the same intention.
The purpose of student technology is to enhance our student's learning. Technology is a part of our future and our students need to be prepared for the world they live in. We will no longer allow "free" play time on our student computers while at school. Students are not to be using these websites and disciplinary action can occur for students who do not use their computer as specified by their teachers.
Each week you should be recieving a securly email about your child's computer usage. I strongly suggest that you review this email and talk about the appropriate use of the school computer with your child.
