Filtering And Parent Support: Under the federal Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the district must filter Internet access and teach online safety. At FSHISD, we take your child's security and privacy very seriously. Therefore, the District makes every effort to supervise and monitor student technology use, and we use several filtering appliances to block access to Internet content that is obscene, pornographic, and harmful to minors.
GoGuardian is the selected cloud-based content filter employed on district-issued Chromebooks. It is intended for K12 education and supports safe learning on and off campus.
Our district has granted parents & guardians access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices and accounts. For more information, click here to access the GoGuardian Parent app information.
Exciting learning opportunities await our students! If you have questions about the Connected Classroom initiative, please contact Mr. Rob Elizalde, K-12 1:1 Technology Coordinator
