Chesapeake Public Schools is committed to providing a safe and secure digital environment for all students, faculty, and staff. In accordance with state guidelines, the school district has developed an Acceptable Use Policy for students and staff, implemented data and network security procedures, provides professional development for district faculty and staff, and integrates the teaching of internet safety skills into our K-12 curriculum.

As new technologies emerge it is imperative to stay current with your knowledge of internet safety; having a single conversation with your student or child is not good enough. Since technology is constantly changing, best practices that come along with using the internet are also changing.
