GoGuardian Parent App
Welcome to GoGuardian Parent/Guardian!
Muscogee County School District has granted you 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 devices and accounts. First, the GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of your children’s online activity on school-managed devices and accounts – this overview includes the apps, extensions, documents, and websites your student visited. Second, GoGuardian Parent provides you with an additional set of internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours. GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our school uses.
What is included in this app:
- Top 5 overview of your student’s online activity
- Any teacher interventions related to your student’s online activity
- 30-day overview of your student’s online activity
- Ability to block websites on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours (4:00pm to 7:00am M-F, and ALL weekend)
- Ability to pause internet access on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours, either on-demand or at a scheduled time
