Home internet security Home internet content filtering
25
How strong is your computer security at home? Is your Antivirus current? Are your Microsoft updates being installed on a regular basis? Check the settings on your computer. What about your internet security at your home? How often do you change your online passwords? Should be quarterly or monthly. Is your wireless router secured? Are you using the default router password rather than the one of your own? You want to use your own password. Is your password something to do with you or something totally random? Most folks use something about themselves. Should use random. Do you click on website links in an email from unknown email senders? Or even from known folks? Doing this can cause fraud and infections.
26
Do you know where your children have been on the internet? Which websites? Does your child have social networking accounts such as Facebook, MySpace and now GooglePlus? How much information have you put out on Facebook or Myspace or any other online account? Do your children have access to inappropriate material for their age group? You can and do have access for limiting exposure to inappropriate internet material and websites.

Very important that phone numbers & email addresses are kept up-to-date Has been in use for over 2 years now Uses have been mainly for emergency closings or situations. This year we have been widening its use to include building & district related events such as this one tonight.
29
Have been using online instead of paper for 2-3 years for some surveys. Beginning to migrate all surveys to electronic where the links are posted on the District website. Will be used in the upcoming Parent/Teacher conferences instead of the paper surveys. This is a great communication and feedback tool as all responses are anonymous. Results are tabulated instantly as soon as the ‘submit’ button has been pressed.

Sandwich District Website Your child’s school website Edline, your child’s Edline class website for homework, grades, other resource links. Google, Yahoo, etc.. An excellent search tool for most any subject.
