Grade levels: Primary, Intermediate, Middle, High

GoGuardian is a tool that allows teachers to view student browsing activity on Chromebooks and control certain aspects of the devices with an easy to use classroom management tool. 

BCPS currently rosters all elementary, middle, and high school teachers of record into GoGuardian and creates classrooms, that are populated with students, according to their course load. Rosters are updated each evening.
