JAMF Parent

Jamf Parent is a free iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Android app that allows you to manage your children's school-issued mobile devices. Using Jamf Parent, you can restrict and allow apps and device functionality on your children's devices. You can only manage your children's devices with Jamf Parent during the time periods specified by your school's Information Technology department.

***NOTE: If this is your first time using the JAMF Parent app, you will need to Accept and Continue to agree and connect through Bluetooth and Location Services.

NOTE: The first time you use JAMF Parent, you must allow JAMF Parent to access the Camera to scan the QR codes. If you accidentally selected NO, on your device go to Settings, then Privacy, then Camera, then turn the toggle next to Parent to ON.

NOTE: This QR Code only works for ONE JAMF Parent app scan. To add the STUDENT device to another JAMF Parent app, close the QR code on the STUDENT device and press the icon again for a new QR Code to be generated.

Allows you to hide certain Apple apps from the student device.

1. Tap Restrict Device Functionality.

2. Toggle the ON/OFF switch next to the app you would like to turn OFF.

3. To allow the app back, toggle the ON/OFF switch back to ON.

NOTE: Some apps have already been restricted to OFF at the district level including Message, FaceTime, Phone, iTunes Store, and Game Center.

Allows you to set a time for app restrictions. While your student's device is in App Lock, they will only be able to use the apps you allow during a specified time.

NOTE: If you only allow ONE app, that app will launch on your student's device and they cannot exit the app until the App Lock time ends.

1. Tap Enable App Lock.

2. Set the timer and tap the apps you want your student to have access to (a check mark will appear next to the apps you select).

3. To turn off the App Lock before time ends, tap Disable App Lock in JAMF Parent.

At the end of the school year you will want to remove the device from your JAMF Parent app. In August you will add the student's new device back to your app.

1. On the main JAMF Parent screen, tap the Settings icon in the upper right corner.

2. Tap Remove next to each device (Account) you want to remove.

3. Tap YES to confirm.
