Securly Home is an app designed to help parents manage their children’s online activity while using school-issued devices at home. This user-friendly platform provides parents with the tools they need to ensure a safe and productive online experience for their children. By offering insights into students’ online behavior and empowering parents to take control of their children’s digital well-being while at home, Securly Home fosters a healthy balance between technology use and other aspects of life.

Parents will have access to customize their child's digital access while at home. When the child to returns to school, the device returns to District settings. 

The Securly Home welcome email is sent to parents and guardians after their accounts are created by the school. The email comes from [email protected] and includes instructions for setting up the free Securly Home app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some frequently asked questions regarding Securly:

Q. Do I have to use the app to see my child's activity?
A. No, a weekly report will come to your email with a summary of the week's online activity for you to review.

Q. Can I turn off my child's access?
A. While they are not in school, you have access to pause or turn off access. When your child returns to school access will resume under District parameters. Please refer to the App Walkthrough under Helpful Links for more details.

Q. On the Activity Feed in the app, what do the green and red symbols mean?
A. Sites that your child was able to successfully access will have a green check mark in the upper right corner of the Activity Feed. Sites that they attempted to access, but were denied will have a red circle with a line through it.

Q. Will Securly record activity on our personal devices?
A. No, Securly is only tied to a child's District account. The exception to this is when a child accesses a personal device while they are logged in using District credentials. When they log out of their account, Securly stops tracking the activity.

Q. I have multiple children. How do I know which item in the Activity Feed or Tab belongs to which child?
A. The child’s email address is listed beside each item in the Activity Feed and is in chronological order. To view each child’s activity, click on the drop-down menu, “All Activities” and select the child you want to view.
