Dear Families,
March 19th - Special PTSA Meeting, QUESTODIO DEMONSTRATION
As part of our commitment to your child’s online safety, our school has partnered with Qustodio, the world’s leading provider of online safety solutions. As devices play an increasing role in children’s education it is crucial that we put safeguards in place. Your child already benefits from internet filtering technology which blocks inappropriate web content on their school-owned device while at school. We are going one step further and granting every parent a free Qustodio Parental App account. Qustodio will give you important insights into your child’s online activity on their school device.
A representative from Linewize will be demonstratingthis app at our next PTSA meeting and explaining how parents can use this to have greater control over the school-issued device at home and two other personal devices. See the attached pdf for more information and ways to join the Qustodio demonstration!
