Parents’ Association News, and Why You Need a Password for Knightline
You may wonder why Parents’ Association portions of The Link are password protected. Here’s a brief explanation about why. The main reason comes down to keeping private the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of parents who have volunteered to organize events for our children, host potlucks, coordinate community service projects, and the myriad other projects that involve the PA. If the PA portions of The Link were not password-protected, then the volunteers’ personal information would be in the public domain, available to be found on a Google search of their names.
Parent volunteers give so willingly and generously of their time and energy, we don't want to penalize them by increasing the “cost” of their volunteering—by having their personal information floating around the Internet and cached for indefinite use. Although some parent volunteers may not care about this potential breach in their privacy, others do.
Ensuring volunteers’ Internet privacy means a bit more effort for all parents to log in to Knightline in order to see the PA portions of The Link. We hope that parents will do so; most computers have a preference setting so that the username and password are entered only once, and the computer “remembers” the information on subsequent visits to the website (this feature is sometimes called “autofill”).
By the way, Knightline—the password-protected portion of BB&N’s website—contains valuable information that will be of use to parents throughout the year. In addition to other PA information, such as minutes of campus PA meetings, information about PIN (Parents of Independent Schools Network) events and meetings, and information about Athletics and the Circus, the School and teachers also post information on Knightline.
