Securly Parent Portal - What is it? How Parents Can Opt-In!

Sometimes parents reach out to find out how they can enact some parental controls on their child's AAPS device, i.e., YouTube blocking, turning off the Internet access for evening hours, limiting non-educational games, etc.

In Ann Arbor Public Schools, we utilize a cloud-based web filter called Securly to keep students safe on their district-issued device. To help parents monitor their child's online activity at home, AAPS offers the free Securly Home app. This application allows web-based filtering and parental controls on district-issued devices at home. Parents may set rules to allow or disallow certain websites, pause the Internet connection to the device as desired, and receive weekly usage reports. To OPT-IN to the Securly Parent Portal service, please encourage families to use the pathway as outlined below:
