The Apple Watch is a revolutionary device that allows you to stay connected and productive while keeping track of your health and fitness. One of the most innovative features of the Apple Watch is Schooltime, which helps parents and teachers manage their kids’ technology use in the classroom.
Schooltime is a mode on the Apple Watch that can be used to limit access to apps, calls, and messages during designated times of day, such as school hours. This feature gives parents the ability to control what their children can do with their watches during school time. Parents can customize when Schooltime starts and ends for each day, as well as what apps can be used if allowed by the school.
When in Schooltime mode, all notifications are silenced except for important messages from teachers or parents. If your child needs to contact you during this time, they can send a message for approval that will be sent only when Schooltime mode is turned off.
The Apple Watch also has an Exit Schooltime button on the watch face that allows kids to quickly turn off Schoolmode before they leave school. This helps to ensure that they are not distracted by notifications while they are studying or doing homework.
Overall, Apple’s Schooltime mode is an excellent way for parents and teachers to manage their children’s technology use in school. It provides a safe environment for students to focus on their studies without being distracted by notifications or other apps on their devices.
Removing Apple Watch from School Mode
To exit Schooltime on your Apple Watch, press and hold the Digital Crown until you see the Home screen. Then, scroll down to find Control Center and tap it. You’ll see a list of available apps; tap the Schooltime icon to turn off the mode. Once you’ve exited Schooltime, your Apple Watch will return to normal operation.
Turning Off Schooltime
To turn off Schooltime, tap the display and turn the Digital Crown. You will then be presented with a list of options including Exit. Select Exit to turn Schooltime off. Once you’ve done this, a quick report of all starting and ending times of the Schooltime mode will be generated and saved for your records.
The Impact of School Mode on Apple Watch Battery Life
No, school mode does not drain the Apple Watch battery. After further testing and review, it appears that poor cellular reception in the school is causing the watch to search for a signal all day, thus draining the battery. The best solution, for now, is to turn on airplane mode while at school in order to conserve battery life.
