Securly Parent Portal

From the Edmonds SD Technology Department:

Securly Parent Portal

Many parents have requested access to their child’s browsing history on the Chromebooks, as well as additional filtering controls at home.  We are very pleased to report that we can now offer these services to parents!

Home Filtering and Monitoring for Chromebooks

We are pleased to announce that the district has enabled the Parent Portal for student Chromebooks.  This service will send weekly reports of student Internet activity to your email, and allow you to view more detailed information on a website.

To sign-up for the service, fill out this form: http://tinyurl.com/edmondsportal

To enter the Parent Portal, simply click on the "view more" link, or the “sign up” link at the bottom of your weekly email. You will be asked to check two boxes:
  1. I understand that I may see potentially sensitive online content accessed by my child.
  2. I agree to Securly's terms of service and privacy policy.
The Parent Portal contains two categories on the left from which you can choose:
  1. Activity (shows a real time audit trail of your child's online activity)
  2. Flagged (shows posts made on Facebook, Twitter, and G+ that have  been flagged by Securly)
    
There are also additional Parent Portal features coming soon:
  • Settings (allows you to control content on the device at home only)
  • Pause Button (to turn off Internet access during certain hours)
  • Emergency notifications for disturbing activity

The district will be running information evenings on student Internet safety, which will cover the parent portal in more detail.  Further information on these events will be released soon.
