Important: you will need to adjust your child’s Chromebook Power Settings so that reports accurate ScreenTime. Go to your Chromebook Settings > Device> Power and make sure you select Sleep mode for all options:
This will prevent the screen from turning on accidentally and report time when it shouldn’t.
Please note: if your Chromebook is managed by your child’s school, you might not be able to change your sleep settings. Contact your child’s school for more information.
