Notice to Families of Children with TDSB Issued Devices: 

Families of students enrolled in the Student Device Program from grades 6-12 can now access the GoGuardian Parent App, allowing parents, guardians and caregivers to manage their children’s internet use outside of school hours.  

This includes blocking specific websites and restricting internet access completely.

This must be done proactively to enable the protections when devices are used at home or on non-TDSB wifi – this is not automatic.

Here is more information about the app and a support guide made available to families through the December edition of the TDSB Connects communication for families:

The Runnymede HSA’s STEM committee has been instrumental in getting this set up, and we want to make sure as many families as possible are aware, so we can protect as many kids as possible!

Thanks!
