Lightspeed Parent Portal
For parents/guardians of students in grades 6-11, we offer a way for you to view your child(ren)'s use of the internet on their 1:1 Chromebooks brought home from school. This tool is called "Lightspeed Filter", and it allows parents/guardians to access a portal where they can restrict student access to the internet at set times on district-issued devices while at home. In addition to the Lightspeed Parent Portal, Shoreline Schools will send digests of student activity to parents/guardians of all students in grades 6-11 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 logon to the portal, please send us a note at chromebook.digest@shorelineschools.org.
You can set up an account and log on from this digest email to get a more detailed view of student internet activity. Alternatively, you can directly go to https://shoreline.portal.relay.school/ to register for a portal account. If you don’t want to continue receiving the parent report, unsubscribe from the digest.
Once registered for an account, you can log on to view a more detailed list of your child(ren)’s browsing history and pause internet access, as shown here:
You also have the ability to turn on or off certain services after school even if they are blocked by the district. The list of services you currently can control after school:
Video
Enable parents or guardians to allow or block YouTube. If a parent allows YouTube without enabling the Protected or Restricted mode, all of YouTube will be allowed. Blocking YouTube can be overridden by YouTube Protected - Smart Play. Parents or guardians can only select one of the following YouTube options.
Allow parents or guardians to turn on or off Smart Play and browse for educational videos. We recommend to allow this option only if your devices support it. (Chrome, Windows, Mac & IOS via Cloud Proxy or Network Agent)
Allow parents or guardians to turn on or off YouTube Restricted Mode which hides videos that may contain inappropriate content flagged by YouTube users and other signals.
Social media
Social networking websites, as well as related websites that provide avatars, hosting resources for social networks, etc.)
Student privacy is important to us and our vendors; therefore, we only use the minimum amount of data to maintain accounts and connections to classes and teachers. View Lightspeed’s privacy policy.
