SkieHow do I set a school-hours schedule on student tablets?
Create a window for each school day that covers lesson time and allows only the learning apps, then add another for after school. The tablet switches between them by itself. Social, games and entertainment apps are hidden during school hours and can return outside them if you choose.
Start with the school day. Set the days to Monday to Friday, the start to the first bell and the end to the last lesson. Choose the apps allowed during that time: the coursebook app, a notes app, a calculator, the learning platform. Everything else is hidden while the window runs.
Then think about what follows. Some schools keep the same narrow list until evening. Others allow a wider set after school for reading, calls home or approved entertainment. Either is a second window, with its own days and times, below or beside the first.
Add break or lunch as separate windows if you want a short loosening in the day. Because the first matching window wins, put the shorter windows above the long one that contains them. A one-off extra app for a single lesson can be added by a teacher without touching the schedule.
The device runs this locally from a cached copy, so it works when school Wi-Fi is patchy. Date and time are locked to automatic. Per-app time limits and daily screen time limits are not available yet, so windows are the way to control when. A practical tip: begin with one class, run the schedule for a week, ask teachers what they ran into, and then attach it to the rest of the school.
