The Mt. Angel School District is using Securly to keep students safe on their school-issued devices and through the use of their district issued Google account. As part of our commitment to your child’s safety we’re giving parents access to the free Securly Home app. Parents can receive a weekly email from Securly.com that will show you a preview of your child’s online activity. These will be sent automatically. You can also log into your parent account here or download the Securly Parent app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. If you have never logged into Securly parent, use the "Forgot Password" link using email account that you provided to the school district. Logging into your parent account will allow you to:
- Real time online activity feed (see visited websites, watched videos and keyword searches)
- Turn On/Off Internet when the school device is at home
- Flagged activities notifications for self-harm and bullying related to your student
For more information, please visit the Securly Home website @ www.securly.com/home-parent If you have any technical issues, please contact help@securly.com.

-
>> What if I do not receive a Welcome email from Securly?
It can take 24 - 48 hours for the emails to be sent. Be sure to check your Spam/Junk folder for an email from Securly. After 48 hours, if you have not yet received the Welcome email, please contact your students' school. We may not have your email address listed or it may not be entered correctly.

>> If I receive the welcome email and do nothing, will I still receive the weekly emails?
Yes you will. If you do not wish to receive the weekly report, there is an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the Welcome email.

>> What will the weekly activity report email look like?
The weekly activity report of a small random sample your your students activity will be emailed to you every Monday morning with the subject "Your child <name> activity report" and will show the various Searches, Research, Other Sites Visited, and Watched Videos. If you prefer not to wait for the weekly email, or would like to see a more in-depth report, you can access the Parent Portal by download the HOME app.

There is nothing you have to do! Once your student is enrolled in the Mt. Angel School District AND the Securly parent/guardian lists are updated, you should receive a Welcome email from Securly. Through the Welcome email, you have the option to install the Securly Home app.

No. Once your email is registered with the school district, you will begin receiving the weekly report.
-
>> Is Parent/Guardian participation required?
Parent/Guardian participation is NOT required, but it is encouraged. In the schools we do the best we can do to protect and to teach our youth about appropriate uses of the Internet, but in order to do this effectively we all need to be active participants. What the Securly Home App provides is a window for the parent(s)/guardian(s) to see what their student is doing online and to provide topics for open discussion.
-
>> What if I (parent/guardian) do not want to participate?
Participation is NOT required, but encouraged. This is simply a tool that we have made available to you. In the welcome email that you receive, at the bottom click “Unsubscribe”. This will unsubscribe you from receiving the weekly email report.
-
>> What if I (parent/guardian) decide to participate, then later wish to be removed from the list?
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the welcome email that you received. Another option would be to add the report emails to your email spam filter.
-
>> Can I opt my student out of participating in Securly?
No. All students in the Mt. Angel School District are filtered as per our legal requirement.
-
>> How do I get the Securly Home App?
Download the app from your app store. Tap the Login button adn choose the “Get instant access” option after entering the email registered with the school district. Check your email for an email titled “Your Securly login link”. Click on the link to open the app.
