A departure alert for the journey after School
That could mean walking Home, meeting a pickup or travelling to an after-school activity. The departure milestone can be useful on its own without asking parents to follow every movement on the Family Map.
Leaving the School boundary does not mean the child has reached the next destination. Guardian can provide additional phone-location and device context when parents need it, but the information still depends on the phone reporting normally.
GPS conditions, connectivity, permissions and battery restrictions can delay a departure event. Guardian should support normal family communication rather than replace it, and it is not an emergency service.
Quick questions
What does a School departure notification tell a parent?
It indicates that the connected child phone appears to have moved out of the configured School safe zone.
Does leaving the School safe zone mean the child has arrived Home?
No. It marks a departure from the School area only; the next destination is a separate part of the journey.
Can Guardian miss or delay a School departure update?
Phone location reporting can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions and battery restrictions, so notification timing cannot be guaranteed.
