Website Filtering: Keeping Our Students Safe on the Web
Albuquerque Public Schools wants students to use the most up-to-date technology and learning tools. Just as our schools are required to have a plan for student safety, we must keep our students safe on the Internet.
GoGuardian Parent App
GoGuardian Parent is a mobile app to help keep families aware of their child's activity on school-issued devices and provide additional controls during out-of-school hours. GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the internet filtering tools that APS uses for Chromebooks (this app doesn't work with iPads). Through the use of this app, we hope to encourage conversations between parents and children that will result in safer practices and responsible browsing habits.
To access the app, please visit our Getting Started with Go Guardian Parent document.
Family Youtube Live Stream
The APS EdTech department will host a live stream for parents on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. We will provide a brief overview of Chromebooks, iPads, Classroom, Gmail, Seesaw and resources on the EdTech site.
