Log In & Web Monitoring | Westford Public Schools

Logging into your WPS Chromebook and Web Monitoring.

Each student at Westford Academy is assigned a Chromebook associated with their Westford Public Schools (westfordk12.us) account. We encourage students to practice digital safety by using their own Chromebook and not sharing with others.

Personal Google accounts (gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc) will not open on a Chromebook as they are outside the Westford Public School’s domain.

As an additional practice online safety, we encourage each high school student to change their Google password at the time of orientation.

WEB MONITORING & CONTENT FILTERS

Westford Public Schools utilize an Internet Management system (currently Blocksi) dedicated to providing content filtering and wed safeguards to our IT directors, building principal, and to the Educational Technology Department.

The tool features a dashboard to help filter students that are in school, as well as those signing in remotely, tracks their device and detects signs of cyberbullying and/or any type of harm within their WPS Google Domain. Additionally, Blocksi uses AI scanning to activate alerts that are sent directly to the school administration.

When student searches are deemed inappropriate or having concern for students physical and mental health, a notification is printed out and discussed by the students school counselor, Dean of Students and also may involve parental / caregiver communication based on the content of the inquiry.
