Our district is providing families access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app designed to provide parents/guardians insight and control over their student's online activity when on school-managed devices and accounts. GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our school uses. The GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of the apps, extensions, documents, and websites your student visited, as well as internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours.

Please contact Natalie Hubert, our campus Instructional Technology Specialist, for additional support: natalie_hubert@roundrockisd.org
Throughout the year, we will utilize online applications that will enhance the learning of your child and support and reinforce the concepts we are teaching in class. Before using these applications, we want to make you aware of federal laws and regulations that apply to the use of technology to support classrooms and require parental consent in order to be most effective.
In order for me to use this online tool with student records or other information that could be personally identifiable, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that I obtain your consent due to the possible exposure of your student’s information to the website’s operator or to other participants.
In order for students to use this program/service, certain personal information must be provided to the website operator. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. For more information on COPPA, please visit http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/coppafaqs.shtm.
Please take a moment to look at the websites we will be using, as well as what personal information the site collects. We will have your student use his or her district-provided email account for this.
After reviewing these sites, please sign and return this form to me. This will serve as your permission for your student to have access to the online apps, as well as your permission for me to upload your student’s information into the application. This permission will expire at the end of this school year, and can be revoked at any time.
