Chromebook Family Link and school-before-games controls

EQUIPMENT

• Basic inspection tools
• Service information for the exact model
• Notebook or photo record

STEPS

• Confirm the child is signed into the supervised Google account and distinguish a family-owned device from a school-managed one.
• In Family Link, block or limit entertainment apps and sites while keeping required school resources accessible; check which scheduling features apply to that Chromebook.
• Use a clear daily checklist and have the adult grant game access or time after reviewing the work.
• Test the controls from the child’s actual account, including browser games, guest access and any other permitted sign-in paths.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Family Link does not automatically know homework is complete. School administrative policies may override or differ from household controls. A feature available on Android may not work identically on ChromeOS.

SAFETY / LIMITS

• Use qualified judgment and current manufacturer or code guidance for safety-critical work.
