This is a link to my blog post ip Time Warner using native IPv6 which makes me happy. http://bit.ly/1TGjVRu Admins, Dont Delete! I dont even have ads on my site..

Yes, they can see anything data you transfer over the wifi in at least 2 ways: 1) They have the WiFi encryption key, they can decrypt and wirelessly captured data, but that's a skill schoolboards tend not to be willing to pay for. 2) They can mirror your capture from the network. This is easy...

I always stick with "Honestly, I just want to be compensated enough to know the company values my work."
