GoGuardian Parent App
As 6th-graders get 1:1 devices for the first time, some families worry about their students having access to technology and the internet at home.
Parents and families have access to a GoGuardian Parent app that allows them to manage their student's device at home. After they download the app and create an account, they can set and schedule time limits, pause the internet, and set filters.
Google Classroom
Throughout the year, teachers will post some assignments and resources to Google Classroom for students to access. While students may turn in assignments digitally on Google Classroom, final grades are typically only posted on Skyward.
