Parent Advisory - Internet Awareness
Links for Kids is designed to provide a safe place for kids to learn online. Parents should be advised that these sites are deemed appropriate for students in our Troy School District educational environment, which has strong internet filters that prevent some content (like pop-ups) from appearing, and prevent students from accessing sites the district deems inappropriate for student use.
Parents should always be aware of their own student's internet use outside of our school environment.
Most home computers do not have filtering software. Sites that are appropriately blocked at school might not be filtered or blocked at home. Also, students can more readily navigate away from appropriate sites to less desirable sites in the absence of these filters.
Of course, inappropriate links should be reported to the school and/or Webmaster, but please be aware that sites you might be able to access at home are very often blocked at school.
