Information about Student Chrome Books and Lightspeed Filter
A few days ago, we had our first report of a student on a Chromebook at home blocked from the Internet. This is caused by the Lightspeed Mobile Filter having a conflict once the device goes off of our school (district) network. We are working hard to solve this issue but it may be an ongoing issue.
Here are some quick things for you to know:
- We did not change any settings nor did we do any upgrades that would cause this issue. It is likely caused by a change outside of our control; for example, it could be caused by a recent Chrome OS update that is conflicting with the Lightspeed mobile filter.
- This only seems to be affecting student Chromebooks. Students on other devices such as MacBook Airs and Lenovos are not having problems, as far as we can ascertain. (The same goes for teachers and their devices.) Therefore…
- If at all possible, have students try to log into Schoology (or any other sites) from a device other than their Chromebook — their parents’ desktop computer, for example.
If you have issues please contact your teacher and let them know.
Southside Girls on the Run
What you need to know:
- Girls on the Run is a non-competitive program for girls in grades 3rd-5th. The team is coached by trained volunteers. Non-athletes and athletes are encouraged to participate.
- The cost of the program is $150. The fee provides girls with admission to the 5K, two t-shirts, a water bottle, snacks, lap counting trinkets and most importantly a lifetime of valuable lessons. There are scholarships available to help with the cost.
- Practices will be at school on Monday and Wednesday from 3:00PM-4:30PM beginning Feb. 19th.
- Season ends May 12th with the Girls on the Run Spring 5K at The Parklands at Floyds Fork.
If you have questions about Girls on the Run here at Southside please contact Ms. Paige Smith, 5th Grade Teacher at: paige.smith@shelby.kyschools.us
