I did not receive an email from Securly to set up a Securly Home account. What do I need to do?
Posted by:Securly Home Parent Portal accounts are currently available for families with students who received a district-provided device as part of Blue Valley’s 1:Learner initiative, and were created based on the email address you have listed in ParentVUE. If you do not have a child participating in the 1:Learner program or do not have an email listed in ParentVUE, you would not have received an email to set up Securly Home. To set up an account, make sure you have an email address listed in ParentVUE. If you are unsure if you have an email address listed in ParentVUE or need assistance, call the front office of your oldest child’s school.
