## What is Novi for Schools?

Novi for Schools keeps phones out of the way during the school day, so students can focus on lessons and each other.

HOW IT WORKS
• Your school sets the school day. When it starts, your phone blocks apps and websites by itself. You don't need to open Novi.
• When school ends, Novi reminds you to tap out, and your phone unblocks.
• Medical exits: if your school has given you some, you can unlock your phone for the time your school allows. It blocks itself again when time's up.
• Leaving early for an appointment? When your school lets you go, your phone unblocks too.

FOR SCHOOLS
Teachers use the Novi dashboard to see who is set up, give medical exits and early leaves, and get a short summary at the end of each day.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Novi never sees which apps you open, your messages, your photos or where you are. There are no ads and no tracking.

Novi for Schools needs an account from your school. Ask your school if it uses Novi.
