Connecting a School 设备 to a Network

布卢明顿公立学校 uses various digital tools and data systems to support student learning by developing the necessary skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.

In accordance with the Minnesota S澳门赌场倒闭网址数据隐私法, we are committed to protecting families and districts with respect to how third-party vendors use student educational data.

As agreements with vendors are renewed, the district will work with providers to ensure compliance with the new safeguards. 

An inventory of the digital tools used, including data elements stored, privacy policies and contacts for more information will be shared with families at the start of the school year. 

See the "区/School Contact" column of the inventory spreadsheet for any additional questions regarding specific digital tools used in classrooms.

设备 & 软件过滤器

Chromebooks will be filtered at 首页 in the same way they are at school because of a device-based filter. Sites that are blocked at school will also be blocked on Chromebooks at 首页. All filters inherently have holes; the best filter is teaching students to be safe and smart online coupled with appropriate supervision by adults. Parents and students are not able to install an additional device based filter.  

网络过滤器

It is possible for parents to set up an additional network filter to provide additional limits at 首页.  Setting an additional filter will not enable parents to unblock sites blocked by the school filter through the Chromebook, but will allow additional sites to be blocked or limited.  If you are interested in this option, check with your Internet provider for options (ex: 这个公司也) or use a third party tool such as OpenDNS or . Both free and paid options are available.
