Disabled Settings or Removing Icon

Is there any way to disabled the Settings or remove the icon from my students IPADs? I use APPLE Classroom and MDM Mosley and my problem is that the kids keep changing the settings without permission. These are at-risk teens in a quasi military environment so discipline is an issue and the school restrictions are high.

How to lock out apps for preschooler iPad I have set up an iPad Air iOS 12.4.4 for a preschooler grandchild. I would like to prevent her from opening apps like Safari, Mail, Music, Contacts, Messages, etc. You get the idea. I've created a Restrictions password. After doing searches it seems maybe, I can go to Screen Time > App Limits and select apps then give them a time limit of 0. This is grayed out and doesn't do anything. II also tried Screen Time > Always Allowed and gave apps a selected apps so they'd get a red minus icon. That didn't lock them either. I thought I'd seen some images where app icons on the screen actually were grayed out and made inaccessible without a password. How do I do this?

Guided Access will prevent the user from accessing Settings - or anything outside the allowed app - without the passcode.
