Device Management Application (DMA) & Parent Options
Device Management Application (DMA) & Parent Options
As part of the PLD initiative, all PLDs must be installed with the MOE Device Management Application (DMA) before they can be used in school. DMA ensures that your child/ward can use his/her PLDs safely and responsibly.
Lightspeed Systems® will be the DMA for Chromebook PLDs.
Parents have the following options to manage their child's/ward's after-school usage:
Default - School will configure all settings for the following timeframe:
School hours: 6.30 am to 2 pm
After school hours: 2 pm to 10.30 pm
Sleep hours: 10.30 pm to 6.30 am
Option A - Parent can modify DMA setting for the after school hours with the following options for sleep hours:
10.30 pm to 6.30 am (Default)
10.00 pm to 6.30 am
9.00 pm to 6.30 am
8.00 pm to 6.30 am
7.00 pm to 6.30 am
Option B - DMA will be inactive during the after school hours. No sleep hours will be implemented.
As the estimated timeframe for the PLDs to be issued to students is in Term 2 Week 1, you may indicate your preferred After-School DMA Parent Option nearer the PLD Rollout Day. More information on this will be shared with you at a later date.
