GoGuardian for Parents
We know that student Chromebooks are a strong tool for our teaching and learning at CMS. We are able to monitor these devices through GoGuardian while at school and in the classroom. Parents wishing to manage and monitor their students' Chromebook use beyond school hours may also do so by utilzing the GoGuardian Parent access. Please see here for directions on hour to utilize Parent GoGuardian.
