Set up Parental Controls

You can use Community’s Parental Controls to give parents and guardians control and visibility over their children’s school-managed Chromebook or Windows devices outside of school hours using the Qustodio App. School Manager resumes filtering when children return to school the next day.

For parents and guardians creating a new Qustodio account, when Parental Controls are turned on, the Apply rules on school devices toggle will appear in the Qustodio Parent app and will automatically be turned on by default.

Parents and guardians can activate this feature to:

• Set custom filtering rules.
• Limit daily screen time on the device.
• Control device usage during specific time periods.

If parents and guardians turn off Apply rules on school devices (or never turn it on), they will only have access to the other Community features you’ve turned on, such as Pause Internet.

Before you begin 

• Set up Linewize Community at your school.
