Empower parents as partners in their students' learning
With the Lightspeed Parent Portal, school districts can empower parents with visibility and control over their child’s internet usage on school-issued devices, at home and after-school hours. School IT administrators can granularly select what settings parents can view and manage, so they can easily stay informed and take action, playing a key role in promoting responsible digital citizenship and online safety.
Help parents establish healthy screen time limits at home
Parents can create schedules to automate common routines like bedtime, homework, and focus time, while preserving district policy intent. They can also pause web browsing on school-issued devices during at-home or outside-of-school hours for 1 hour, 3 hours, or overnight, giving them structured control over student screen time while district safeguards remain in place.
Give Parents controls by category and website
Guardians can allow, restrict, or block after school access across multiple web categories, including YouTube and social media, based on district-set permissions. For more precise control, parents can also add specific sites to a custom block list for edge cases, while districts retain full oversight.
Provide actionable insights
Parents can get access to real-time web activity by page, so they can ensure their child is safe and focused on learning. IT admins can also add visibility into allowed and blocked status for each website according to the school district’s filtering policies.
Enhance home-school communication without added work for IT
Enabling Weekly Parent Reports keeps parents informed with a summary of their child’s web activity and key stats for the week, straight to their inbox. These stats include the number of browsed web pages, student time spent daily online, and sites most visited.
