This article is intended for IT Support at schools with Linewize Community which use School Manager to manage students’ access to their network and internet connections.
Guardians
We use the term “guardians” to include parents and other legal custodians. Linewize is not responsible for resolving disputes between guardians, schools, and school staff.
Community’s Share Student Timeline lets your school provide parents with a timeline of student usage data from school managed devices through the Qustodio parent app or website. Your school can configure what you share and when student usage from a school managed device is captured. You can also prevent specific students or groups from having their Timeline shared with their parents.
Parents can use Qustodio to view a Dashboard and Timeline for connected children.
- The Dashboard displays daily and weekly summary data of Top Apps/Sites and Top Categories.
- The Timeline presents their child's activity chronologically based on your school's settings.
Note
Parents cannot see red flags or other alerts. We have found that sharing alerts with parents is a potential risk to students and that parents may misinterpret alerts. Flagged data may still be shared with parents (depending on your school's configuration), but our firm policy is that Qustodio will not notify parents of any alerts raised by your school.
Before You Begin
- You must set your school’s hours and days in School Manager’s School Calendar.
- Sign in to School Manager as an Owner/Global Administrator or Community Administrator and go to Configuration > Community > Configure Community. Ensure the Share Student Timeline option is available. Contact your Linewize Account or Success Manager if you can’t see this option.
