GoGuardian Parent App

Meridian School District uses GoGuardian to keep students safe on their school-issued Chromebooks. To help you monitor your child’s online activity, the Meridian School District has made available the free GoGuardian Parent app. This application allows web-based filtering and parental controls on school-issued Chromebooks at home. You may set rules to allow or disallow certain websites, scheduled or on-demand internet pausing during out-of-school hours.

The app gives parents a bird’s eye view of the apps and websites that their kids are on most often and control over school-issued Chromebooks during out-of-school hours. 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.

What are my parental/guardian and child’s responsibilities?

We ask that students use their school-managed Google accounts and school-managed devices for educational purposes within the boundaries of Meridian School District’s Electronic Resources and Internet Safety Policy.

When a student is off campus, parents are responsible for supervising internet access and usage. We encourage you to discuss rules for appropriate internet usage with your child, and reinforce lessons of digital citizenship and safety with them. We also highly encourage you to report any potential cyberbullying or other sensitive issues to us.
