WISH Elementary, Middle and Academy families have access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile
app to help keep parents/guardians aware of your children's browsing activity, app usage, and
more. GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the classroom management and internet filtering
tools that your child's school uses for devices issued to students. Through the use of this app,
GoGuardian and WISH hopes to encourage more open and honest conversations between
parents and children that will result in safer practices and responsible browsing habits.

What is GoGuardian Parent?
GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide additional educational support to administrators
and teachers by allowing parents to see what sites and documents their children are browsing.
The app gives parents a bird's eye view of the apps and websites that their kids are on most
often. With this perspective, parents can be made aware of what types of browsing behavior
schools are seeing from students so they can all work together to encourage more effective
internet browsing habits at home and at school.

What's the intention of the app?
By providing insight into student browsing habits, GoGuardian’s goal is to empower parents to
take a more active role in their children's online learning. GoGuardian aims to create a greater
sense of transparency with student browsing to help bring about a greater sense of
accountability on both the parent's and the student's part. GoGuardian also believes that
transparency and insight will increase the likelihood of productive student browsing habits on a
more consistent basis.

● Top 5 summary of student browsing (apps, extensions, documents, and websites visited)
● Teacher interventions
● 30-day view of websites, videos, documents, apps, and extensions
