Set up Linewize Community at your school

This article is for IT Support at schools using Linewize Community.

Linewize Community 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.

1. Turn on Community in Linewize Filter

Contact your Linewize Community representative to turn on Linewize Community at your school.

2. Set up your school Calendar in Linewize Filter

Set up your School Calendar in Linewize Filter before setting up Community features.

3. Set up Community features

Set up Parental Controls

Set up Parental Controls to allow guardians to manage and filter a child’s school-managed Chromebook or Windows device outside school hours.

Share Student Usage and Insights

Info

  • When Parental Controls are on, Community 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 Student Usage and Insights 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 Community 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.

4. Test your Community Configuration

Test your Community configuration to ensure the Community features are working as intended.

5. Deploy Community to student devices

Deploy Community 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. Community 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 Community 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 Community Signup link. Then, speak with your Linewize Community representative to help you promote Community to them.
