When requesting to unblock or block a website please follow these steps:   

• Website must be approved by your site administrator or Curriculum Instruction department as an instructional resource or by your department director as a business resource. 
• If this site will be used by students, please review the privacy policy to ensure the site is FERPA and COPPA compliant 
• Do not use sites that require you to create accounts for students. Always confer with CI and your Principal prior to using such sites. Request to block a website with offensive content IMMEDIATELY by opening an IT work order. 
• Submit a work order with the complete URL of the site.  Example:  www.google.com. Submitting just the name of the site will delay the process.
