Linewize Latest - October Issue

As we head into the final term, we know you've got a LOT on your plate! Term 4 ramps up fast - reports, assessments, events, planning for next year, and of course, all the unexpected curveballs that always seem to pop up at the busiest possible moment. It’s a lot, and we see the pressure you’re under. In this edition of Linewize Latest, we’ve pulled together updates and resources to help lighten the load and support you through the final push to year’s end.

This month, we provide practical guidance to help schools navigate the upcoming Social Media Ban, give you a heads up about our final Success webinar for 2025 - focusing on the end of year checklist review process, so save the date now - Wed 29th Oct (PM), we save you time & effort with the new Linewize Filter WONDE Sync for Community & Classwize, and highlight some helpful new Qustodio features designed to better support your parent community.

And remember, if your parents don't yet have access to the integrated Qustodio parent tools, they'll certainly benefit from them over the extended Christmas / January break, where kids will spend more time than ever on screens.  Reach out to your Success team today to walk through the Qustodio launch process. It's easier than you might think!

ySafe Expert Deep Dive

Understanding Fortnite & Discord - In this ongoing series of short video app deep dives, we address both Fortnite and Discord. Fortnite is a popular and often addictive online game where players compete to be the last one standing in its Battle Royale mode, building, scavenging, and battling in fast-paced matches. Teens may also join Fortnite communities on Discord, so parents should be aware of both platforms’ risks when deciding what’s appropriate.
