Parental Control

At SFS we feel the the laptop belongs to the parents. We  strongly encourage parents to setup the admin account on the Mac in their name and grant access to the student. The Parental Controls is a good way to monitor and restrict access. Although we do not suggest locking down features of the laptop we do recommend doing the following:

  • Setting time restrictions (when the computer can be turned on in the morning and when it will turn off in the evening. (There are separate settings for weekdays and weekends)
  • Monitoring what sites have been accessed and for how long
If you add any restrictions to access to the Internet you may find sites that are needed for school will not be able to be reached and you may be called to allow access. The other option is to provide your child's homeroom teacher with the admin username and password.

The following documents will explain parental controls and show you how to set this feature up.
