contain links to sites that trick you into giving up your username and password. Quite often, these are brand new websites with names and addresses that have been recently created, therefore the sites are \u201cuncategorized\u201d by our web filter. Our web filter has an option to be able to automatically screen out these addresses that have not yet had a chance to be put into a specific category. This is a significant security strategy for our district.<\/p><p>If you come across a site which is uncategorized you will see the standard block page, but note the \u201c<strong>Submit URL<\/strong>\u201d button on the page.\u00a0If the site is one you know to be legitimate and important to have available to LPS staff and\/or students, click the Submit URL button, enter a comment if you like, and click <strong>Submit<\/strong> to send the site to our review team. After review, we will add the site to the appropriate category and the site will no longer be blocked.
