DEVICE SAFETY

Providing safe learning environments for students is a top priority in Idalou ISD, including safety in the digital learning environment. All district devices are protected through a cloud-based filtering system 24/7. This means students can learn anytime, anywhere and always experience the same level of digital safety when on district devices, whether they are in the classroom, on the bus, at home,etc.

SECURLYHOME PARENT PORTAL APP

While district devices are filtered 24/7, we understand that what each family feels their child should be able to access on district devices outside of the school day is different from household to household. Through the SecurlyHome Parent Portal app, families can supervise their child’s technology use on district devices outside of the school day by:

Monitoring their child’s activity on district devices outside of the school’s Network/IP Address
Establishing personalized rules/limitations for device use outside of the school’s Network/IP Address
Filtering content their child is able to access outside of the school’s Network/IP Address
Receiving push notifications if their child searches content related to bullying, self-harm or suicide while using a district device off of the school’s Network/IP Address. (Parents who download the app will automatically be opted-in to receive real-time notifications if their child searches flagged self-harm content.)
Pausing the internet on your child’s district device, temporarily disabling online access.
Setting offline schedules for your child's internet usage, for instance during dinner and at bedtime.

Once the student enters the school day, the district regains control and devices will follow Idalou ISD’s established filters until the students leave the school’s Network/IP Address again.
