Securly Home
In order to continue D39’s efforts to provide support for parents to help manage the use of District-issued iPads at home, we have purchased a subscription to Securly Home, a filter that works on the iPad outside of our network (schools) and can be managed by you. Through Securly Home, you will be able to do the following:
• Pause internet access with a single tap
• Check online activity by viewing your child’s recent searches, sites visited, and videos watched
• Customize rules, such as blocking specific sites
• Opt-in for notifications to receive flagged activity, including self-harm or violence
• Create an offline schedule to decide when you want the internet to be accessible
Please reference yesterday afternoon’s email (Aug. 22) for more details on the benefits to using Securly Home. You will receive an email from Securly at the end of the day today with login instructions. Thank you for your partnership in helping our students become responsible technology users.

Student Lunch Account Information
Adding money to your child(ren)’s lunch accounts is done through
the PowerSchool ParentPortal. After logging into the portal, click “Balance” and then “Make a Payment.” You will be directed to RevTrak, where you will see the names of the students linked to your account. You can make a one-time deposit to a child’s account, or you can login to your RevTrak account and set up auto-replenish. Keep in mind that each child has their own balance which must be maintained separately. Please
visit our Food Services webpage for more information.
