Case Study: Sunnyside School District achieves streamlined device management, improved classroom engagement, and enhanced student safety with GoGuardian

Sunnyside School District - Customer Case Study

Sunnyside School District in Washington (8 schools, 6,541 students) faced challenges managing a growing 1:1 Chromebook rollout when their initial device-management tool proved not user friendly. Network technician Alex Edwards was tasked with finding a stronger solution and selected GoGuardian — deploying GoGuardian Admin, GoGuardian Teacher and GoGuardian Beacon to better administer devices and support classroom needs.

GoGuardian’s suite gave Sunnyside centralized device management (Admin), classroom controls and personalized Scenes for engagement (Teacher), plus video conferencing to improve parent communication. Beacon provided real‑time alerts for online activity indicating risk of self-harm so staff could intervene — actions district leaders say have enabled timely mental‑health responses. Teachers reported increased focus and easier family outreach, and five years on Sunnyside continues to use GoGuardian’s products district‑wide.
