TSN Safe Connect

Displays fullscreen safety alerts on the Chromebook when the device enters an alert area published by your organization.

TSN Safe Connect helps schools deliver emergency and safety alerts to managed Chromebooks. When a school activates a safety alert in TSN, such as a lockdown, every Chromebook currently inside the affected area, including a campus, building, or bus route, instantly shows the alert fullscreen. When the alert is disabled, screens return to normal. Students do not install or open anything; the school’s IT administrator sets it up once through the Google Admin console. How it works • The administrator force-installs the extension and provides the API endpoint and enrollment token via managed policy — no user setup is required. • The device registers with the TSN platform and waits for approval. • Once approved, the extension periodically checks for active alerts and compares the device location with the alert areas. • When the device is inside an active alert area, a fullscreen alert window opens; it closes automatically when the alert ends or the device leaves the area. Permissions • Location: to determine whether the device is inside an alert area. Location is compared locally and only geofence events (inside/outside) are sent to the TSN server. • Power: to keep the display on while an alert is shown. • Storage and alarms: to store settings and schedule periodic checks. • Access to tsnvcs.com and thescholasticnetwork.com: to communicate with your organization's TSN server. The extension communicates only with the TSN server. No data is sold or shared with third parties. It is designed for organization-managed devices; it has no purpose on personal devices without a TSN account.
