Links For Students
Useful links for our students: Kid-friendly search engines, educational sites, math and reading re-enforcement.
Search and Reference
The Elk Grove School District employs powerful screening software
to ensure that only appropriate materials come through the Internet
to our students. Consequently, we are confident allowing students
to access standard web search engines such as Google while under
teacher supervision in the computer lab. At home you may not have
such screening software available to you. What follows is a list of
websites generally recognized to be suitable for student use. We
still recommend that parents monitor their student's use of the
Internet.
