BLE beacons at school doors activate a VPN that blocks everything except approved education apps. Zero tracking. Zero student data. Just daily attendance — the same thing schools already do.
Starting at ~$10/student/year. Small beacons at entries and exits. That's it.
A BLE beacon at the entrance detects students' phones automatically. No tapping, no scanning, no student action needed.
A lightweight VPN activates and blocks everything except approved education apps. Phone calls and emergencies always work.
Exit beacon detects the student leaving. Phone unlocks automatically. Sick days, holidays, and snow days handled with zero config.
Built specifically for Massachusetts phone-free mandates, with features that go beyond basic compliance.
BLE beacons at every entry, exit, and hallway for full coverage. VPN activates and deactivates automatically.
Only ~150 approved education domains get through. Everything else — social media, games, new apps — blocked by default.
If a student disables the VPN, staff are alerted within 30 seconds. Handled like any other school policy.
Real-time view of compliance rates, VPN status per student, and active alerts. No student names stored.
Parents see at-school status and get notified if the filter is disabled. Emergency overrides built in.
No GPS. No browsing history. No app usage logs. The only data point: your child arrived at school and left. That’s it.
Bell to Bell collects no more data than a daily attendance sheet. We built it that way on purpose.
FERPA, COPPA, and SOPIPA compliant. Read our full privacy policy
