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 internet rules that designate what websites or website categories are allowed at home for school-issued devices and to monitor their child's online activity.

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. It will include an invitation to sign up for the Hāpara Filter Parent Portal, allowing you to view and manage your child's internet browsing activities.

Once you receive the email, click on the link in the email to accept the invitation and follow the instructions on the screen.

 

You will have 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 log in and access the Parent Portal at any time. 

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

Your invitation link will expire after seven days. If you attempt to create your password after that time period, you will need to request another invitation email from your school's technical administrator.

Once you have created a password, you can access the Parent Portal at https://hapara.deledao.com/parents. Bookmark this page in your browser for easy access.

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

The Hāpara Parent Portal gives you access to your child's internet browsing activity when they are signed into the Google Chrome browser with their school email address. 

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

*Please note, the specifics of how your child's school configured the Parent Portal permissions 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 internet activity.

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

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

Each week you will receive an email report of your child's browsing activity.

Note - some schools may choose to only show parents 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 game websites are blocked at home and you try to unblock the games category, the game websites will still be blocked. The school settings are indicated by the checked box next to the Category name.

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 compromise their privacy. We recommend that you leave these two options enabled. Blocking ads can also help get rid of annoying pop-up windows and conserve internet bandwidth.
  
• Content safety 
  YouTube and Google have built-in safe modes, however, the Hāpara Filter real-time content analysis engines can provide an extra layer of protection for your child.
  
• Blocked categories 
  You can configure additional categories of web pages to block at home:
  • The categories with a checked box 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, school policies may change from time to time. To make sure these categories are always blocked at home, check those categories even if they already have a checked box.

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 blocked list, just click Add, type or paste the URL in the pop-up, 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=JNqXV0A8M70), 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 always be allowed. The allowed list takes precedence over the blocked list. If a URL appears in both lists, it will be allowed.

Setting a downtime policy

A downtime 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 downtime policy, navigate to the At-Home Policy tab, then click Down Time Settings in the left menu. 

Switch the toggle to Enabled. 

Then, set a time range for your child's downtime. Again, you can set one time range that repeats every day, 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 downtime, your child will not be able to access the internet from their school device/account.
