WARNING: Some restrictions on the iPad impede a students ability to complete classroom tasks.
Enabling Screen time Passcode and blocking websites
1. Open iPad Settings.
2. On the left side, choose "Screen Time." On the right side of the screen, scroll down and tap on "Turn on Screen Time." If Screen Time is already turned on, try to add a passcode. If a passcode has already been added contact [email protected] so we can lift the password remotely.
3. There are several pop ups that will appear. These settings can be revisited later, so for now, we're going to skip through them to turn on our content restrictions.
4. Enter in a Screen Time Passcode (2x). This code will be used to lock your child's iPad settings, so do not share this passcode with them. If you forget your passcode, we have the ability to lift the passcode remotely. Just send an email to "[email protected]."
5. It is up to you if you wish to add an Apple ID and Password as a Passcode Recover. You can also just hit "cancel", then "skip". If you forget your Screen Time Passcode, just email [email protected] so they can lift the Screen Time restrictions remotely.
6. To block specific websites, tap on "Content & Privacy Restrictions"
7. Then turn on "Content & Privacy Restrictions," then choose "Content Restrictions."
7. You will then be prompted to enter in the passcode you created in step 4. Then Choose "Web Content."
8. Select "Limited Adult Websites." This will then give you the option to add websites to the "NEVER ALLOW" category. Avoid choosing the "Allowed Websites Only" option as this will restrict all websites, including the ones that are needed for students to participate in school.
