Blocking Social Media

Striving to meet HCCSC's Mission in the areas of Safe Learning Environment and Stakeholder Satisfaction, HCCSC has taken steps to limit students' access to social media sites, especially for non-instructional purposes. Social media sites like Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Meetup, Yelp, Match.com, foursquare, Bebo, and Orkut have been blocked from student access at school. Other sites will be added if their usage becomes an issue. HCCSC is also investigating restrictions to iMessage and other texting applications through our File Wave software. HCCSC will re-examine individual sites on a case-by-case basis if there is an instructional need for the site.

If parents want to further restrict their child's access to applications on the iPad, please refer to the Parenting in a Digital World Presentation  PowerPoint presentation link. This PowerPoint includes directions and screenshots on how to set the parental restrictions on the iPad. If you set restrictions on your child's iPad, HCCSC asks that you do not restrict access to the camera and Safari due to instructional uses at school.
