TSN Safe Connect

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.
