Lovejoy ISD uses filtering technology protection measures to prevent access to material considered harmful or inappropriate to students. Despite our best efforts and beyond the limits of filtering technology, a student may run across some material that is objectionable. Lovejoy ISD has a 3-layer approach when students are using the Internet. The device is automatically routed through Lovejoy ISD’s filter for appropriate content which provides the first layer. GoGuardian creates an additional layer of protection and can be monitored and adjusted by the teacher or parent.  The third layer is where the student should use their digital responsibility skills when using a device.

GoGuardian allows district level monitoring and content filtering on the device, both during the day at school and off-campus as well. Administrators can search for student browsing reports, website information, Google Docs information, and Google App usage. Administrators use GoGuardian policies for content filtering rules that can be applied to groups of users. These policies contain block or allow rules for Websites, Categories of Websites, Youtube Videos, and Chrome Apps and Extensions. In addition, GoGuardian Smart Alerts identify unfiltered explicit content and self-harm related behavior and notify administration immediately.
