Introducing Securly Home: A Free Parent Tool for Your Child's School Device
Earlier this week, the District sent a message introducing Securly Home to all families. Securly Home is a free parent app included with the district's internet filter. It connects to your child's HBCSD Google account, so filtering and monitoring apply on any device your child signs in to with their school credentials, not just a district-issued device. You can see your child's recent online activity, set offline schedules, block specific sites, and pause internet access with one tap. You can also opt in to alerts if the system flags signs of bullying or self-harm.
Setup takes under five minutes: download the Securly Home app, log in with the email on file with your child's school, and click the link in your email. You're in.
Get started: securly.com/home-parent
Questions: itdept@hbcsd.us

Parking Lot Safety & Efficiency - Please Thoroughly Review
With only a single lane entering and exiting our school parking lot, please keep in mind that one car has the ability to severely impact and hold up the entire line. To help keep traffic moving and ensure safety:
• Please have your child prepared to leave the vehicle safely and quickly on the curbside (school side).
• Stay in your car at all times.
• Pull up as far as you can, even past the gate, so the maximum number of cars can unload along the curb.
• Do not pull in front of other cars if there is a hold up.
• When leaving the parking lot, right turns only are permitted.
• Do not park or leave your vehicle in any area marked with a red curb.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and supporting the smooth flow of traffic in our Eader community.
