GoGuardian Parent is a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets school IT administrators share managed student browsing activity with verified parents and guardians. Administrators control what data is visible and which features are enabled. Guardians access the app to review their student’s activity and, when enabled, apply limited internet controls during out-of-school hours.
GoGuardian Parent requires iOS 12 or later, or Android 5.0 or later.

​
Understand What Administrators Control

Administrators with Super User access configure GoGuardian Parent through GoGuardian Org Management. Administrators:
  • Add and manage guardian accounts and their relationships to students
  • Enable or disable guardian access to the Parent App
  • Control which categories of student activity are visible (top 5 summary, all activity, teacher intervention counts)
  • Enable parental controls for out-of-school filtering and internet pausing
All student data in GoGuardian Parent is limited to the past 30 days. Browsing activity outside of school hours may not be available depending on administrative configuration.

​
Understand What Guardians Can View

When an administrator enables access, guardians can view:
  • Top 5 Summary — the student’s top 5 visited websites, Google Workspace files, apps and extensions, and YouTube videos
  • Teacher Interventions — a count of how many times a teacher using GoGuardian Teacher locked screens, opened tabs, or closed tabs for the student. Availability depends on the school’s GoGuardian Teacher subscription.
  • All Activity — a chronological list of websites the student visited or attempted to visit, including blocked sites
Data is accessible for up to 30 days. Guardians select a time range (Last Day, Last 7 Days, Last 14 Days, or Last 30 Days) to filter the view.

​
Understand Parental Controls

Parental controls are optional features administrators can enable for guardians. Controls only apply during out-of-school hours, as defined by the school’s At Home Mode schedule. School filtering policies remain active and take precedence — guardians cannot allow sites the school has blocked. When enabled by an administrator, guardians can:
  • Block websites — prevent the student from accessing specific domains on their managed device
  • Pause internet access — suspend internet access for a set time increment, from 15 minutes to the rest of the day
  • Schedule internet pauses — set recurring schedules for when internet access is off
Parental controls require At Home Mode to be configured in GoGuardian Org Management. Contact your school’s IT department to determine when your student is considered “out of school.” These features have no guaranteed functionality on personally owned, unmanaged student devices.
