Online Safety & Transparency

Parents of K-12 students have access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app to help keep you aware of their children's browsing activity, app usage, and more on a ASD-issued Chromebook. 

GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the classroom management and internet filtering tools that Anacortes School District uses for devices issued to students. Through the use of this app, we hope to encourage more open and honest conversations between parents and children that will result in safer practices and responsible browsing habits.

What is GoGuardian Parent?

GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide additional educational support to administrators and teachers by allowing parents to see what sites and documents their children are browsing. The app gives parents a bird's eye view of the apps and websites that their kids are on most often. With this perspective, parents can be made aware of what types of browsing behavior schools are seeing from students so they can all work together to encourage more effective internet browsing habits at home and at school.

Why use GoGuardian Parent?

By providing insight into student browsing habits, our goal is to empower parents to take a more active role in their children's online learning.  We believe that providing additional transparency and insight will increase the likelihood of students using technology in a more responsible and productive way inside and outside the classroom.

What is included in this app?

• Student reports:  Have direct access to student online activity reports via an easy-to-use mobile app.  Review browsing and research history of activity on the ASD-issued Chromebooks.

• Teacher interactions:  Reports of teacher interactions in the classroom.

• Parental controls:  Block websites and pause internet access on ASD-issued Chromebooks during out-of-school hours.
