The safety of our students is our #1 priority in District 29. To ensure the safety of our students when utilizing electronic media, our district has implemented Securly. Securly is a cloud based web filtering and monitoring system used by millions of students worldwide.
Starting December 6, 2017, you will receive a weekly email from Securly.com that will show you a preview of your child’s online activity. To receive access to their full online activity history, you can enter the free Parent Portal when you receive the weekly email. If you do not wish to receive the weekly email from Securly, simply click unsubscribe in the bottom left corner of the email.
If you have any questions about Securly or our filtering/monitoring of student electronic activity, please contact Mr. Oscar Garcia, Technology Coordinator at garciao@srd29 or (847) 881-9452.
To activate the Parent Portal, click on the "go to my parent portal" link, or the “sign up” link at the bottom of your Securly email. You will be asked to check two boxes and then click “Yes, please set up my account.” Once you do this, you will receive an email with login and password information. After you set up your account, you can enter the Parent Portal any time by going to www.securly.com and clicking on “login.”
The Parent Portal contains three 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 Google+ that have been flagged by Securly as potentially related to self-harm or bullying)
3. Settings (allows you to control content on the device at home only)
You can opt out of Securly’s Parent Emails at the bottom of the portal.
Please email help@securly.com if you have further questions.
