Oakland Undivided Chromebooks are not managed by OUSD as they are personal computers. Parents may wish to increase parental controls for these devices. Learn how:
Google Family Link - Tools for parents to manage content and device usage for student devices.
Common Sense Family Agreement - Guide for families and students to discuss and agree on usage.
Common Sense Guide to Parent Controls - Guide for parents to better understand parental control options.
Families with Comcast or a different internet service provider may also want to add parental controls as most providers make this optional.
