What educators are saying about GoGuardian?
“It has saved lives in our district… You can rest well at night, knowing you are changing districts and saving lives.”

"It’s the reason we can sleep at night."
“As an IT director, I don't know how you don't consider Beacon. One student . . . was struggling. We were able to catch the student when they were in a vulnerable position. Had we not caught it the student may have gone down a darker path."
