Importance of Cybersecurity 

Cybersecurity is the protection to defend internet-connected devices and services from malicious attacks by hackers, spammers, and cybercriminals. The practice is used by companies to protect against phishing schemes, ransomware attacks, identity theft, data breaches, and financial losses. 

It is paramount to ensure the district remains as safe as possible and to mitigate fallout from suspicious activity, threats, and attacks. The technology network team has been making some changes to help solidify our district infrastructure to make us even more safe. 

Wayne RESA has alerted us to a scam that is targeting retirees. If you happen to get an email from Danielle Ethridge please delete immediately. This is a scam. This email address has been blocked, but it won't stop them from altering it and trying again. Stay alert.  

Blocked Websites to Review

We are getting lots of requests to unblock websites with varying issues. To help us streamline the process if you would like to have a website unblocked for one of your lessons, please fill out a Tech Ticket. Websites must be COPPA compliant. COPPA imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, and on operators of other websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information online from a child under 13 years of age.
