Additional Google Services

Starting in March 2025, Google Workspace for Education will require that schools now obtain parent or guardian consent for any Additional Google Services (Applications) they allow students under the age of 18 to use. 

 

In addition to our standard Network and Core Google For Education Services, we allow students with parent/guardian permission to access these Additional Services with their Google Workspace for Education accounts based on grade level. These Additional Services are for supplementary educational purposes and their use is bound to the Acceptable Use Policies for the Secaucus School District

Managed Google Play allows organizations to deploy and manage apps on Android and Chrome devices and enables end-users to access a curated Google Play Store for the district. 
 
The district uses a third party service to backup Google Data. This includes Google Drive, Classroom, Email, Calendar and other G-Suite Services. Cyber threats continue to evolve, and Google Workspace accounts are not immune to them. Malicious attacks like phishing attempts, ransomware, or data breaches can lead to significant data loss or compromise sensitive information. Third-party backup solutions can help mitigate these risks by providing an independent copy of data. If a student accidently or purposely deletes their data, this backup solution can help in the data recovery.   

YouTube provides access to educational videos that can support SBOE instructional programs. 
Students will be able to log on to YouTube and also access educational videos approved by SBOE staff.
YouTube’s Strict Restricted Mode is turned on which screens out many videos based on YouTube’s automated filter system.
