School Focus · For teachers and schools
Focus time, attached to the assignment.
Teachers post the assignment in Google Classroom and set its focus time. When a student presses Start, only the assignment and what the teacher attached stay open, in class or at home on the school Chromebook.

How it works
One assignment, from class to home, in three steps.
The teacher assigns focus time
The teacher posts the assignment in Google Classroom, then sets its focus time on the FocusBridge teacher page: 30 minutes tonight, or 2 hours spread over the week before a test.
The student presses Start
On the school Chromebook, the assignment and its attached files stay open. Everything else waits, calmly, until that part is done.
The teacher gets a short report
The next morning: who finished, who paused and who never started, with turn-in status. Never browsing history.
Big work, broken into nights
A test on Friday? Four calm nights, not one long one.
The teacher sets 2 hours of focus time for the test. FocusBridge spreads it over the nights before, so no night gets swamped and Thursday isn't a cram.

What teachers and schools get
Calm for students, clarity for teachers.
- "Stuck? Get help" opens free Khan Academy lessons, and "Need to talk?" shows 988 and the school counselor, both always open.
- Reminders reach students and families only when the teacher clicks Send.
- Longer work, like a project or an essay, is planned over the nights before it is due, a part each night.
- Reports carry session times and turn-in status only. FocusBridge never records the websites a student visits.
