Access to Websites

WCPSS Technology Services Division uses a web filtering system as well as settings in specific digital resources to help keep our students safe while online. We use Cisco Umbrella, which allows us to filter the device regardless of where the device is located (school or home). Students and staff are filtered differently. The content filter blocks sites by categories that are updated regularly. Parental Control Solutions.
