Imagine a relay race where runners pass the baton with perfect timing—smooth, coordinated, and powerful. During the school day, educators guide students with the tools and guardrails that support learning. After school, families take the baton, bringing their values and personal knowledge of their child into the picture.

This isn’t about splitting control. It’s about each party having full authority at the appropriate times, creating consistency for students and confidence for everyone involved.

Three Principles That Create Clarity

1. Time Creates Perfect Clarity

The foundation is elegantly simple: the clock determines who’s guiding device use. At 8:00 AM, school mode activates. At 3:30 PM, family mode takes over. No confusion, no manual intervention needed.

IMTLazarus lets schools customize these schedules to match their unique needs—different times for middle and high school, varying schedules by day—all handled automatically.

2. Smart Calendar Intelligence

The system understands context. Saturday morning? Family time. Holiday break? School oversight pauses completely. IMTLazarus follows your school calendar automatically, honoring weekends and breaks without any manual adjustments.

3. Absolute Accountability

When everyone knows exactly who’s responsible at any given moment, confidence replaces anxiety. IMTLazarus manages school hours with content filtering, app management, and screen controls. IMTHome empowers families with screen time limits, scheduled downtime, and activity insights that activate when school ends. Both systems work in perfect coordination, each respecting the other’s domain.

The Power of Partnership

For families:

  • Complete transparency about what protections are active and when
  • Empowerment to make decisions that fit your values during your time
  • Students who understand expectations clearly, reducing stress

For educators:

  • Focus on teaching, not mediating device disputes
  • Confidence that safeguards work exactly as intended during school hours
  • Stronger family partnerships built on clear communication

The system operates invisibly—no daily handoff meetings, no settings to remember. The baton passes smoothly, exactly when it should.
