Cyber Safety System

Dear Notre Dame Parents and Students,
 
We are pleased to announce the implementation of a new cyber safety system at Notre Dame High School.  The most noteworthy feature of the system is a CIPA compliant cloud-based web filter which will allow all school-owned devices to be monitored and filtered both on and off-campus.  Devices that are connected to the Notre Dame network, including personal devices, will also be monitored while utilizing the school internet.  Users that do not wish Notre Dame to view or monitor their personal activity should not use school resources or a school-owned device to do so.
 
The new system also utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor all activity in real-time.  The AI will flag inappropriate activity that may be explicit or related to pornography, bullying, self-harm, and violence.  All flagged activity will then be reviewed and the school administration will be notified.  In cases that are deemed to be serious, school administrators or local authorities may further investigate at school or at the student’s residence to ensure wellness and safety.
 
In addition to web and AI services, we will be providing our students with an anonymous tip-line service to report incidents or suspicious activity to school personnel.  Please know that the decision to implement our new system is made solely to make sure that our students’ use of school technology is productive and healthy, and that our overall school environment is safe and secure.  If you have any questions about our new system, please contact the school Director of Technology, Anil Patel.
 
Sincerely,

Mr. Anil Patel
Director of Technology
