Securly Home Letter
Dear Hawthorn Families,
This is a reminder that Hawthorn School District 73 uses Securly to ensure students stay safe while using school-issued devices. Earlier this year, you should have received an email from Securly.com that will take you through the steps to access the Securly Home Portal or mobile app. From there, you can view your child’s online activity history.
If you do not see a message from Securly within a few days, please check your spam folder. The email will contain simple instructions for signing up, but you can also follow the instructions below.
Helping students to develop good digital citizenship habits starts with a strong partnership between home and school. Having access to this information will help navigate those important conversations about responsible uses of technology. Please email help@securly.com if you have any additional questions about your account.
