BYOD Device Security

Parents desiring additional security for devices they purchase for their students are encouraged to look into ScreenGuide or JamfNow (more technical) for parent-controlled features such as: limiting app usage, camera access, location notifications, and more. Android devices can be similarly managed through Google’s FamilyLink.
