The Allegheny Valley School District has partnered with GoGuardian for its mandated web-filtering requirements. Part of our services from GoGuardian include a parent component called "GoGuardian Parent" - a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices. First, the GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of your child'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
- Ability to pause internet access on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours, either on-demand or at a scheduled time

1)Download the app to your personal phone/tablet
