Daily Routine Recommendations
Remind students that technology use is a privilege that should be approved by the parent or guardian.
Set routines that limit screen time. Use a timer.
Set up a storage and charging location.
Use technology in plain view of a parent or guardian.
Do not allow students to eat or drink near the Chromebook.
Students use technology appropriately, or they lose the privilege.
If students use a cell phone, you may want to use a family monitoring tool to limit screen time and keep them safe (for iPhones Apple Family sharing directions, for all other phones use Andriod Family link directions, or for additional monitoring features for any type of phone you could use a paid app such as Bark parental control tool).
