- GO GUARDIAN District Expectations - Message from Travis
I want to clarify the district, and therefore, site, expectations for teacher monitoring of student Chromebook use using GoGuardian. All teachers are expected to follow this protocol.
Acceptable Monitoring Window
Monday - Friday: 6:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Unacceptable Monitoring Window
Any other time outside of the acceptable window, including evenings, weekends, holidays, summer (except summer school), spring, and winter breaks.
If you have any questions regarding this expectation please do not hesitate to email me. If you would like assistance setting up an automatic schedule in GoGuardian, please contact me or view these GoGuardian Tutorial videos.
As always, if you feel a student is accessing harmful or explicit content using their Chromebook during the acceptable monitoring window, please immediately contact administration.
