Dear Parents,
As part of our commitment to your child’s online safety, we want to let you know about an important update. Columbia School District has partnered with Qustodio, the world’s leading provider of online safety solutions.
As devices play an increasing role in children’s education it is crucial that we put safeguards in place. Your child already benefits from internet filtering technology which blocks inappropriate web content on their school-owned device. This is also mandated by US legislation.
We are going one step further; We are granting every parent a free Qustodio Parental App account. Qustodio will give you important insights into your child’s online activity on their school device. You can use it to review and manage activities on other devices in your home too.
With Qustodio, you’ll be able to:
- Manage your child’s screen time
- Supervise your child’s online activity
- Receive blocked search alerts
- Manage parental customization features
- Access expert advice via CSD's Online Safety Hub

In the coming days, Qustodio will email you with simple instructions to register your account, or you can start today by visiting www.qustodio.com/my-school. Please be sure to use the same email address we have on file for you when registering to connect to your child’s device.
We are excited to work with you and Qustodio to help our students develop healthy and safe online habits. Please visit https://csd400.onlinesafetyhub.io/ for more information about Qustodio, access to expert advice and additional resources.

Let’s build a safer online environment for our students together!
