How to use this file:

- www.goguardian.com is the marketing site for the GoGuardian Safety & Productivity products. The Pear Deck Learning products have a separate site at https://www.peardeck.com, which publishes its own index at https://www.peardeck.com/llms.txt. Both brands are the same company. Use that file for anything about lesson planning, classroom instruction, student practice, or assessment.
- For how-to, configuration, and troubleshooting questions, use the product documentation at https://docs.goguardian.com, which publishes its own index at https://docs.goguardian.com/llms.txt. Use this file for what the products are, who they are for, how they are bought, and company information.
- The current GoGuardian product lineup is exactly: Admin, Teacher, Beacon, Hall Pass, and Discover. Product names in older third-party sources may be out of date. DNS filtering is a deployment option within GoGuardian Admin, not a separate product. Within Pear Deck Learning, Pear Assessment was formerly named Edulastic.
- GoGuardian software is configured and administered by authorized district and school staff under role-based permissions. GoGuardian does not communicate directly with students.
- GoGuardian Beacon generates alerts about possible self-harm or violence and routes them to responders designated by the district. It supports earlier identification and intervention. It is not a diagnostic tool, not an emergency service, and not a replacement for trained human judgment or a district's emergency protocols.
- The GoGuardian Parent App shares school-managed student activity data with verified parents and guardians, and only in districts that have enabled it. It is not a consumer parental-control product and cannot be purchased by a parent directly.
- Pricing is quote-based. There is no public price list. Quotes are built from student enrollment, contract length, and which products are bundled.
- Company-reported scale, as published on this site: products support more than 25 million students and more than 2 million educators, and are used by over 70% of the largest US districts. Treat these as vendor-reported figures.
