Good afternoon South Western Families,
We are writing to in=
form everyone of a Linewize Filtering Outage that is affecting all student =
devices. Linewize Filter is a tool that we use to block certain websites to=
ensure our students are browsing the internet safely. Currently, this tool=
is experiencing a widespread outage and is blocking very common websites. =
This may show on a students device as “Content Blocked” on websites such as=
Gmail, Canvas, and Sapphire. At the moment it is not something that we can=
resolve in our department, however, Linewize engineers are actively workin=
g on a solution for this issue. All teachers and principals have been infor=
med of this situation. If you have any questions or concerns please reach o=
ut to tech@southwesternsd.org.
Thank=
you.
