EXCERPT FROM TVDSB POLICY DOCUMENT:



Please share with your staff that at the request of the trustees, Internet Filtering has now been enabled across TVDSB, with the **focus to continue to be on supervision and education** of students in regards to the appropriate use of technology. To supplement this supervision, all board-owned devices (both wired and wireless) will now be filtered with a "Web Page Warning" screen popping up when a potentially inappropriate web page address is entered.

It will appear as follows: **Web Page Warning!** You have tried to access a web page which may be inappropriate or in violation of the Thames Valley District School Board Internet usage agreement. URL: (will list web page attempted)        Category: (of filtering for web page attempted) Cancel and return to the previous page: GO BACK Students, if you believe this site is appropriate, please check with a teacher before proceeding: PROCEED As it is understood that it is more difficult to supervise wireless access on **personally-owned** devices, all such devices will continue to be filtered with potentially problematic pages **BLOCKED**. Thank you for your assistance with this.
