Lightspeed Parent Portal

For parents and guardians of students in grades 6-12, Lightspeed Parent Portal is way for you to view your child's use of the internet on their 1:1 Chromebooks brought home from school and manage their access to the internet outside of school. 

In addition to the Lightspeed Parent Portal, Shoreline Schools will send digests of student activity to parents/guardians of all students in grades 6-12 every weekend. Please make sure to check your spam/junk mail if you do not see the digest by Sunday night, and look for the subject line “Relay Portal Weekly Report.”   We update parents/guardians of new students on a biweekly basis. If you believe that you are not getting the digest or are not able to log in to the portal, please send us an email at chromebook.digest@ssd412.org.

 

You can set up an account and log on to get a more detailed view of student internet activity. If you don’t want to continue receiving the parent report, unsubscribe from the digest in the parent portal by clicking on your name in the site's navigation pane.

Web Activity 

Once registered for an account, you can log on to view a more detailed list of your child’s browsing history outside of school for the last seven days, as shown in this view:

Web Rules

Use this section of controls to manage what sites your child can visit on their Chromebook outside of the school day.

What to know about web rules:

• Websites that have been blocked by the district's filter will continue to be inaccessible when accessing the internet on district-issued Chromebooks away from the school. The intent of the filter is to block student access to unsafe and/or inappropriate sites for young people.

• "Pause web browsing" blocks access to district-supplied online curriculum and resources as well as a student's google account, including google drive and google documents. We recommend using this only if a family does not want their student on the Chromebook away from school at all or only at times when a student should not be studying or doing homework.

• "Reset web rules" returns a student's account to the default settings determined by the school district, which can then be configured by the parent/guardian.

• Early users of the web rules feature have had mixed results with the "Custom Block List" option to block specific website domains.

Schedules

Lightspeed Parent Portal allows for specific schedules of online activity and web rules all days of the week. This is an example of the parent view once a schedule has been set:

 

When creating a new schedule, there are many options to configure for your student's habits and needs:
