NPS cares about protecting students.
At Norwalk Public Schools, we take extensive measures to ensure the physical safety of our students. From secure entrances and background checks on staff to regular drills for situations like fires, intruders, and other emergencies, we are committed to creating a secure environment.
But our dedication to student safety goes beyond the physical realm—we also prioritize their digital well-being. We work diligently to ensure that students' online interactions are safe and appropriate, that the data we collect is securely protected, and that we are guiding students to make responsible digital decisions, even when they are not under our supervision.
While these digital security efforts may not always be as visible as our physical security measures, they are just as vital. To raise awareness, we’ve compiled information about the digital safety protocols in place at NPS to highlight the steps we’re taking every day to protect our students in the online world.
There are several layers of digital protections in place to support and safeguard your child throughout their day. To help you better understand these protections, we can break them down into different layers of security and care. We’ll begin by highlighting some important federal laws below, designed to protect all children and their data in the United States.
