Lightspeed Parent Portal
The Lightspeed Parent Portal is an online tool from Lightspeed Systems that allows parents to monitor and manage their child's internet usage on school-issued devices. It provides weekly reports on a student's web activity.
Key features
- Web activity monitoring:
You can view a summary of your child's web browsing activity, including both allowed and blocked websites. - Weekly reports:
You receive an email with a weekly summary of your child's internet activity, including which websites were visited. - Digital citizenship conversations:
The portal provides data to help parents have conversations with their children about responsible and safe internet use.
How it works
- Activation & Access:
Your child's school district enables the portal, and you will need to register through a link provided by the school using your email address registered through PowerSchool as a Parent or Guardian.
From here, you can login to view web activity of your child(ren) over the last 7 days.
