School arrival notifications built around a safe zone
A practical boundary can account for entrances, playgrounds, grounds and ordinary location variation around a large building. When the connected child phone appears to enter that area, Guardian can provide an arrival update to trusted adults.
If the notification is late or the journey changes, parents can use the latest available Family Map context and device information to understand what the phone has been able to report.
The alert is not a school attendance system and does not guarantee that the child is at an exact physical point. GPS, connectivity and device settings can affect reporting, and Guardian is not an emergency service.
Quick questions
How does Guardian support a School arrival notification?
It uses available location reports from the connected child phone to recognise when the device appears to enter the family-defined School safe zone.
Why can the School boundary include more than the school entrance?
Large buildings, grounds and normal GPS variation mean a practical safe zone may need to represent the wider school area rather than one exact point.
Can a Guardian School arrival notification be used as an attendance record?
No. It is family location context from the connected phone and should not be treated as formal proof of school attendance.
