Apple Watch school time won’t turn off

I accidentally turned on the schooltime setting for my watch and I looked up how to do it but the screen to exit schoolyime doesn’t show up. I tried on one of my friends Apple Watches to see if I was doing it wrong but then it worked on theirs. I have no family setup on my watch but I do in my phone and I have an se 2022.

How can I get schooltime to not be grayed out on my child's apple watch? I am trying to turn off schooltime on my daughter's watch; however, when I open her watch on my watch app, it is grayed out, meaning I can't edit schooltime. How can I edit or turn off schooltime when it is grayed out from the app?

Prevent exit from Schooltime Hi, I am considering getting an Apple Watch for my daughter to use. I don't want her to be distracted during the school day, so at first I was happy to read about the Schooltime mode. However, it appears that the user can exit the schooltime mode at any time. Is there any way that Schooltime can be kept active during the whole school day? I don't want to have to be policing her records of Schooltime exits and asking about each of them. I just want her to have a distraction-free watch during the day and a way to communicate with me after school. If there are other workarounds, I'm all ears. Thank you.

Cannot disable child’s school time on her Apple Watch Hello! I had set up school time on my daughters Apple Watch for the school year. With summer here I would like to disable it, however, it is not working. I have toggled the school time option to disabled but her watch is still locked on school time. We have restarted the watch and that didn’t fix the issue. I also tried modifying the old school time schedule to a custom schedule and turned each week day off, that also didn’t help. I know she can manually exit but that is cumbersome to keep doing throughout the day. Any suggestions?

Hi tthomp174,

Welcome too the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: the screen to exit schoolyime doesn’t show up.

In Apple support's article: Use Schooltime on Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you scroll to: "Focus with Schooltime on your Apple Watch"

You can see the details on how to control on and off for schooltime from control centre

Hope this helps :-)
