  • Students in grades 1-12 are issued Chromebooks and may take their devices home.

Go Guardian-Parent App

Our schools will provide access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed Chromebooks and accounts outside of school hours.

Your child’s teacher retains control and monitoring of student devices during school hours, which are defined as Monday-Friday from 7:00am-3:30pm. This new Parent app will allow control over your student’s devices at any other time outside of these in-school hours.
