We have one system called \u201cHighlights\u201d that we would like you to be particularly mindful of during lockdown.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">This system allows teachers to see Chromebook screens and\/or Chrome browser tabs whenever that device or browser is signed into a school Google account during school hours. This is an important tool that teachers use to keep students safe and to offer support while students are learning. It also has privacy implications and is one of the main reasons we always ask and remind students to only use their school account for learning purposes. If you want your child to use their personal device\/browser for other purposes or without the school cyber safety systems in place, then it is important that students sign out of their school account and sign into a personal account created by you. If your child has borrowed a school Chromebook, they should only be using this with their school login and for learning purposes.<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">We also utilise a specialised web filtering system to help keep our students safe online. This filter automatically alerts staff whenever a student account is potentially being used to access unsafe content on the internet. Like Highlights, this filter system is active whenever a student is signed into their school account, even if they are at home. If we receive a concerning filter alert during lockdown, we will contact you via email.<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">It is important to note that teachers never rely on just the filtering system. We work hard to actively monitor students\u2019 screens and always ask students to work in a place where their screens are visible. We strongly encourage you to adopt a similar approach at home by making sure children only use devices in a family area where they can be easily seen. We also encourage you to actively check that your child\/children are using the device in a safe and positive manner.<\/span><\/span><br \/><div><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div><br \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warm Autumn Greetings from our Bubble to YoursFirstly, our team would like to express how incredibly grateful we are for the amazing support you are giving to this new model of learning.It is an absolute pleasure to see tamariki and their wh\u0101nau engagi&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kahikatea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9680"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9713,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9680\/revisions\/9713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beckenham.school.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
