Configuring School Schedule

Set up your school's operating schedule in KyberGate to automatically apply different filtering policies during school hours, after hours, and on weekends. Schedule-based policies ensure students have appropriate access levels throughout the day.

Before You Begin

  • You need Admin role or higher
  • Know your school's bell schedule including start/end times and any period breaks
  • Decide on your after-hours filtering approach (relaxed, same as school hours, or fully blocked)

Setting Up Your Schedule

  1. Navigate to Settings → School Schedule in your dashboard
  2. Click Edit Schedule
  3. Set your school start time and end time for each day of the week
  4. Toggle days on/off — disable weekends or teacher workdays as needed
  5. Click Save Schedule

Configuring Schedule-Based Policies

Once your schedule is set, you can create policies that activate based on time:

  1. Go to Policies → Create Policy (or edit an existing one)
  2. Under Schedule, select when the policy should be active:
    • During school hours — applies only within your configured schedule
    • After hours — applies outside school hours
    • Always — applies 24/7 regardless of schedule
  3. Set your filtering rules for that time period
  4. Click Save Policy

Example Setup

  • School hours (8:00 AM – 3:00 PM): Strict filtering — block social media, gaming, streaming
  • After hours (3:00 PM – 8:00 AM): Relaxed filtering — allow social media, keep adult content blocked
  • Weekends: Minimal filtering — safety categories only (adult, malware, weapons)

Tips

  • Set your schedule 15 minutes before the first bell to ensure filtering is active when students arrive
  • Create a separate Testing schedule during exam periods with stricter policies
  • Use Schedule Override in KyberClassroom for temporary changes during class (e.g., allowing a blocked site for a specific lesson)
  • Schedule changes take effect within 60 seconds across all devices

Troubleshooting

  • Policies not switching at the right time: Verify your timezone is set correctly in Settings → General → Timezone
  • Weekend policies applying on weekdays: Check that you haven't accidentally toggled weekday checkboxes off
  • Schedule not saving: Ensure end time is later than start time for each enabled day
