District Network and Devices
To safeguard online experiences, we utilize Lightspeed Filter, a comprehensive filtering and monitoring service. This system effectively blocks access to inappropriate content while providing detailed insights into our students' web activities on district-provided devices. Additionally, we've integrated Bark for Schools, an intelligent monitoring tool that scans Google Suite platforms for potential signs of cyberbullying, self-harm, or other concerning behavior.
At Home
Recognizing the importance of extending safety measures beyond school grounds, we offer resources to support families in safeguarding students on personal devices. Our district devices remain filtered regardless of the network they connect to, ensuring consistent protection at home, school, or elsewhere.
Lightspeed Parent Portal and Bark Parent Portal
Parents can stay informed about their child's online activity through the Lightspeed Parent Portal. To enroll for these reports, simply email techsupport@pbsd.net with your student's name and ID number, and we'll set up access for you.
The Bark Parent Portal provides additional insights into online interactions, helping parents stay proactive in promoting a safe digital environment for their children.
