Proxy servers and browser caches
Caching refers to the local storage of web pages on a local school district
server or your browser's cache in order to improve performance. Caching, however, can disrupt the proper operation of this site. Proxy servers at your school district should be set to NOT cache pages from this site, as this could interfere with the proper operation of the site. Additionally, your web browser should not be set to cache pages:
- Firefox: No configuration change is necessary.
- Internet Explorer: Click Tools > Internet Options. Under the Browsing History heading, click the Settings button. Select the option Every time I visit the webpage under Check for newer version of stored pages. Click OK twice.
