Responsible Use of Chromebooks via Lightspeed Parent Portal
Staff are reminded that not all students are allowed to access the YouTube website and teachers should embed curated YouTube videos in their Canvas courses. However, please note that using the Lightseed Parent Portal families may control the viewing of any YouTube videos while off the HCPSS network.
Parents/guardians may monitor their child’s HCPSS Chromebook internet usage by signing up for Lightspeed Parent Notifications to receive a weekly email summary of their child’s usage.
Once parents have signed up for Lightspeed Parent Notifications an email summary will be delivered each Sunday and will contain a link with access to the Lightspeed Parent Portal.
The Lightspeed Parent Portal offers near real-time information on their child’s internet activity, and, when they are not on the HCPSS network, the ability to block YouTube and pause the internet for 1 hour, 3 hours or until 6 a.m. the next morning. Frequently asked questions about Lightspeed and the Parent Portal can be found online.
