What is the Hāpara Filter Parent Portal?

If your child's school uses Hāpara Filter to keep students safe as they browse online, they may give you access to the Hāpara Filter Parent Portal. 

The Parent Portal allows parents to set at-home policies for school-issued devices and to monitor your child's online activities.

Through the Parent Portal, you will also receive weekly reports about your child's browsing activities via email. 

Your school may choose to make some or all of the Parent Portal features available to you, based on their technology use policies. 

You can access the Parent Portal at https://hapara.deledao.com/parents.

How do I get access to the Parent Portal?

You will receive an email from noreply@deledao.com, which will include an invitation to sign up for the Hāpara Filter Parent Portal, allowing you to view and manage and child's internet browsing activities.

Accepting the invitation is easy - click on the link in the email and follow the instructions on the following screens.

 

You will be given the option to Create a password or Take a look now. Clicking Create a password will take you to the update password page, where you can set a password that will allow you to login and access the parent portal at any time. 

Clicking Take a look now will allow you to preview the information you will find in the parent portal. You can navigate to the Account page and set a password from here if you would like. 

Your invitation link will expire after seven days, so if you would like to access the parent portal and your child's browsing information after that time, you should create a password so you can log in. 

Once you have created a password, you can access the Parent Portal at https://hapara.deledao.com/parents. 

What can I see and do in the Hāpara Filter Parent Portal?

The Hāpara Parent Portal gives you access to your child's browsing activity in Google Chrome. You will only see activity that occurs when you child is logged into Chrome/their Chromebook with their school email address. 

Additionally, the parent portal allows you to set some additional browsing policies for when your child is not at school. 

Please note, the specifics of how your school configured your Parent Portal and what permissions parents have may be different from what you see here. 

The Dashboard

Depending on how your school has configured the Parent Portal, the Dashboard will show you a quick overview of your child's browsing and blocked activities. 

Reports

The reports section gives you more details about your child's activities and violations.

You may see three sections: All, Blocked, and Allowed; which let you view your child's complete activities. You can type words (e.g. category name, website name) in the search box to quickly find the ones that are interesting to you.

You can also use the Searches, Videos, and Social Sites filters to quickly find specific types of activities.

You will also receive a weekly report of your child's browsing activity via email. 

Note - some schools may choose to only show parent's their child's violations and additional browsing activities will not be visible here.

Set at-home browsing policies

Your child's school may allow you to set some additional at-home policies for school devices.
Note that:

• You cannot view or set policies that take effect while your child is at school.
  
• Some features are available to you only if the technical administrators have enabled them.
  
• You cannot override the settings of the at-home policy set by the school admins.
  For instance, if the school at-home policy stipulates that games websites are blocked at home and you try to unblock the games category, the games websites will still be blocked. The school settings are indicated by the red checkmarks next to the options

On the At-Home Policy page, you can configure the following policies for when your child is at home:

• Privacy protection. 
  Many websites serve online ads and/or use cookies to track the student and invade child privacy. We recommend that you leave these two options enabled. Blocking ads can also help get rid of annoying popup windows and conserve internet bandwidth.
  
• Content safety. 
  YouTube and Google have built-in safe modes, however our real-time content analysis engines can provide superior protection for your child.
  
• Blocked categories. 
  You can configure additional categories of webpages to block at home:
  • The categories with red checkmarks indicate that these categories are currently being blocked by the at-home policies set by your child's school. They will be blocked regardless of whether you check or uncheck them.
    
  • However, as school's policies may change from time-to-time, if you would like to make sure these categories are always blocked at home, we encourage you to check those categories even if they already have a red checkmark.

At-home blocked websites list

Here you can block specific websites and pages while your child is at home. 

To add a website to the block list, just click Add, type or paste the URL in the popup, then click Add again. 

• If you enter a domain name (e.g. cnn.com), all webpages in this domain will be blocked (e.g. www.example.com/index.html).
  
• If you enter a URL (e.g. cnn.com/nameofsubpage/), all webpages whose URL subpages start with example.com/nameofsubpage/ will be blocked (e.g. example.com/nameofsubpage/index.html).
  
• If you enter a YouTube video URL (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fwf7CJnbLU), you will be prompted to select whether you want to block the video only, the video’s channel, the video’s categories, or some other keywords that appear in the video description.
  

At-home allowed websites list

This is set up the same way as the blocked list, except that websites in the allowed list will be always allowed. The allowed list takes precedence over the blocked list. If a URL appears in both lists, it will be allowed.

Setting a down time policy

A Down Time policy allows you to block all internet access for your child for a period of time. This can be helpful when you're trying to help your child establish healthy sleep habits or to reduce screen time. 

To create a Down Time policy, navigate to the At-Home Policy tab, then click Down Time Settings in the left menu. 

You will want to make sure the toggle is switched to Enabled. 

You will then need to set a time range for your child's Down Time. Again, you can set one time range that repeats everyday, or set multiple time ranges for different days of the week. This is a great option for parents who would like to ease restrictions on the weekend, but keep things limited during the school week. 

During Down Time you child will not be able to access the internet from their school device/account.
