Sites Blocked by GoGuardian Admin
When a block is caused by an Admin filtering policy, you’ll see “Website blocked for all students in this classroom (admin policy)” next to the affected Classroom. If only 1 student is blocked, that student may be assigned to a highly restrictive policy in GoGuardian Admin — sometimes called the Penalty Box. Select the number of students blocked to see a list of the affected students by name.Admin-level blocks can’t be changed from GoGuardian Teacher. Contact your district administrator to adjust those filtering rules.
Sites Blocked by Scenes
When a block is caused by a Scene, you have 2 options for allowing the site: Update 1 Scene Select Update your Scene next to the Scene you want to change. The row updates to show Updated with an Undo option. You can undo the change at any time while the window is open. Update all Scenes at once Select the Update all my Scenes (X) checkbox at the bottom of the window, where X is the number of affected Scenes. All affected Scenes switch to Updated status. Select Done to confirm the changes.Resources
