Internet Pause - After School Hours 

To help students / families take a "pause" from technology during nighttime hours, students will have the internet disabled between the hours of 10:00pm CST and 6:00am CST on district laptops.  When accessing the internet during the "pause" students will be prompted with the screen below.
