* The Parent app allows parents to introduce filtering outside of school hours. Unfortunately, the parent filter is an overlay of any school filters (aka, it only makes it more strict) and we cannot STOP a parent from blocking something. In our case, logging on to Schoology requires that '''accounts.youtube.com''' is accessed (we have no control over this) and if a parent blocks '''youtube.com''', a student is unable to logon to our LMS outside of school hours. This is a know issue that we are working on trying to resolve.
