Camden Fairview School District

• Camden Fairview is now utilizing the GoGuardian Chromebook monitoring system to help students learn safely, stay focused, and get engaged. While active teacher monitoring is still the best way to minimize distractions from the learning process, GoGuardian helps ensure that students are making good choices in digital environments. It also supports student safety by identifying online activity that indicates a risk of behavior that could lead to harm of self or others. 
• Students should ensure that they are following the district's computer and internet use policies, which are available below and in our student handbooks. Features of GoGuardian include tab control, attention mode, screenshots, Google Classroom integration, link sharing, and content filtering. We appreciate your support as we integrate this tool into our safety processes.

• The purpose of the Camden Fairview School District’s technology resources, including the Internet, is to support the educational mission of the schools. Acceptable uses are activities that support teaching and learning. The use of technology resources is a privilege, not a right. Access is subject to availability and is governed by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Neighborhood Children’s Internet Protection Act (NCIPA). Students found to be using technology resources inappropriately maybe denied access to the use of district technology resources.
