Student Internet Activity Reports
GoGuardian Parent App
Using the GoGuardian Parent app for iOS and Android devices, parents and guardians are able to monitor and control their students’ internet usage on their school district-issued devices. (Note: This does not apply to devices you personally own.)
Monitoring Internet Access
Summarized Activity
Parents can view the top five sites visited in each of the following categories over the past day, week, two weeks or month.
Websites
Documents, Apps & Extensions
Teacher Intervention
The GoGuardian app will display the number of times your child’s teacher intervened in their web browsing during class. Teacher interventions include limiting a student to a single web site (called screen locking), or closing a browser tab for them.
Detailed Activity
Parents can view a time stamped list of every web site their child has accessed or attempted to access over the last month, and how much time they spent on that site. If the student was blocked from viewing a page by the district’s web filter, the list will indicate it.
Controlling Internet Access
Block Web Sites
Parents have the ability to control their student’s internet usage outside of school hours. Student devices are monitored through the district’s internet filter 24/7, but parents can block additional web sites before and after school if they choose. For example, some parents block certain gaming or social media web sites during homework time.

Block All Internet Access
Parents can pause internet access outside of school hours for various lengths of time, including 15 or 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 4 hours, or for the rest of the day. Additionally, parents can create a recurring schedule of periods during which they don’t want their child to access the internet.
