Yes, Berkeley County Schools devices are filtered both while at school and at home.  Although no web filter is 100% effective, we work actively to monitor and maintain this software.  In addition to filtering, we encourage you to monitor device usage while at home.  For example, devices should always be used in a common area under adult supervision. The devices do not require access to home internet wireless for use. 

Both iPad & Chromebook apps and settings are managed from both the school and district level using a third party device management interface. 

Yes, each school is required by West Virgnia Department of Education to ensure that 100% of students are instructed on both cyber safety and cyber bullying.  Berkeley County Schools uses resources in Common Sense Media to accomplish this instruction.

Each school has a systems operator and/or technology integration specialist that can assist with any questions about your student’s device.
