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.

Accessing the App

1. Download the app
   1. iPhone: Visit Apple App Store, search for GoGuardian Parent, and tap the download button.
   2. Android: Visit Google Play Store, search for GoGuardian Parent, and tap the download button.
   3. After the app is successfully downloaded and installed, open it up and enter the email address you use with Skyward Family Access.
