Chromebook 1:1 Program

The Champion Local Schools utilize a 1:1 Chromebook program, where every student grades K-12 utilizes a Chromebook as a learning device.  The district issues each student a Chromebook, case, and Chromebook charger. The expectation is that the student cares for all equipment they utilize throughout the school year. 

 

Filtering / Internet Safety

The district provides internet filtering through Lightspeed. This filtering is provided as required by the Child Information Protection Act. While the district strives to educate students to use technology responsibly, it is incumbent upon the parents to monitor their child's use of technology.

  

ProgressBook / Parent Access Module (PAM)

The technology department is responsible for hosting ProgressBook as our Student Information System.  A great feature of ProgressBook is the Parent Access Module (PAM). PAM allows parents to log into a web based system to check their student’s grades and assignments.  

Grades and assignments are currently posted in the district starting in Grade 3. If you are a parent and are having issues with your PAM account, please contact your student’s school directly.

 

School Messenger

School Messenger is the mass call notification system that is used by the school district. The district utilizes this system to place informational calls to parents about upcoming events in the district. The system is also used by the superintendent to notify parents of calamity days when they are necessary. Your phone numbers and notification settings can be updated from within the Parent Portal.
