Uintah School District has announced an added option for parents and guardians to greatly increase student safety on the District chromebooks. Chromebooks are issued to every student in 6th through 12th grade, and are even kept by the students over the summer months. While at school, chromebooks are monitored for student safety. This monitoring ends, however, once the chromebook leaves the school. “The district has used Securly to monitor students’ online activity on district-owned devices for the past three years,” shares the District announcement. “As outlined in device-use agreements signed during registration, all online activity on district devices is monitored for student safety. Securly Home extends this capability as an option for parents and guardians. Parents and guardians who enroll can use Securly Home to: View online activity on the student’s district-owned device, including recent web searches, sites visited, and videos watched; Turn internet access to the device off and on to easily manage time spent online; Receive notifications when online activity is flagged for potential bullying, self-harm, or other concerning content; [And] set up weekly email reports for a snapshot of their student’s online activity.” Click the PDF below for instructions on how to download the Securly Home App and get set up. For questions about setting up Securly Home or technical support, contact the Uintah School District Technology Helpline at 435-781-3111.
