Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our amazing Falcon teachers!

Your generosity, thoughtfulness, and continued support of our school community mean the world to us and truly made this week extra special!

School Internet Access Update
Dear Glendale Unified Parents/Guardians and Students,
Keeping students safe online and focused on learning is one of our top priorities. This week, we updated our internet filter on district-issued devices and accounts. This filter works on district Chromebooks, computers, and Google/Chrome accounts.
You may notice that some websites, such as Wikipedia, YouTube, social media, and some image searches, are blocked. These changes help make sure students use safe and reliable resources for schoolwork. Alternative websites include but are not limited to: britannica.com, school.eb.com, and kiddle.co.
Teachers collaborate with our Educational Technology and Information Services team to review websites and determine whether they should be made accessible to students across the district for educational purposes. If you come across a site necessary for class that is currently blocked, please inform your teacher.
We are here to support you and your education.
