Linewize Parent allows your school to give guardians insight into how their child uses their school device. You can also let guardians manage their child’s school device outside of school hours.
Before you begin
- You must have permission to manage Linewize Parent.
1. Turn on Parent in Linewize Filter
Contact your Linewize Parent representative to turn on Linewize Parent at your school.
2. Set up your school Calendar in Linewize Filter
Set up your School Calendar in Linewize Filter before setting up Parent features.
3. Set up Parent features
Share Activity Summary
Note
- When Extended Rules are on, Parent automatically shares all activity outside of school hours with guardians.
- The Type of Activity to Share options apply only to activities during school hours.
Set up Activity Summary to share information about student activity on school-managed devices with their guardians. Guardians will see an overview of their children’s usage data on school-managed devices for the current day or for a given period.
Share the Student Timeline
Set up Sharing student timeline to allow your school to provide guardians with a timeline of their child’s usage on school-managed devices through Qustodio.
Set up Weekly Reports with guardians
You can choose to send Qustodio account invites and weekly internet usage summaries to guardians who haven't joined Parent yet. This encourages involvement in monitoring their child's online activity.
Allow guardians to Pause the Internet
Pause Internet allows guardians to pause internet access on a child’s school-managed device for a specific amount of time using the Qustodio app. You can configure this so that guardians can "pause" outside school hours.
Set up Extended Rules
Set up Extended Rules to allow guardians to manage and filter a child’s school-managed Chromebook or Windows device outside school hours.
4. Test your Linewize Parent Configuration
Test your Linewize Parent configuration to ensure the Parent features are working as intended.
5. Deploy Parent to student devices
If you are using Extended Rules, deploy Parent to your student devices:
6. Add your guardian details
Important
Before onboarding guardians, you must ensure all student and guardian information is correct in your School Information System (SIS) or Linewize Filter. Linewize Parent relies on your data to deliver services and correctly link guardians to students.
Check what guardian details you need and sync or upload them to Linewize Filter so that guardians can use Parent features.
You can restrict or remove guardians when needed to meet security, legal, or privacy requirements
7. Onboard your guardians
Onboard your guardians by sending them the Parent Signup link. Then, speak with your Linewize Parent representative to help you promote Parent to them.
