Aspen

Aspen is a secure, view-only web-based school information management system that manages all facets of student data -- Attendance, Conduct, Grades, Health, IEPs, and 504 Plans. Aspen is easy to navigate. We have adopted the use of the Aspen Family Portal so parents, teachers, and administrators can work together to communicate more effectively and efficiently so we all can focus on education.

Common Sense Media Website

Common Sense Media's website provides media recommendations to educators and parents. The organization believes in media that inspires and entertains families of all kinds, in technology that protects privacy and supports communities, and in learning tools that prepare students and teachers for success in a connected world. Check out their media recommendations here.

Securly 's Parent Portal

The district utilizes Securly’s internet filter in compliance with the federally mandated Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). To be in compliance with the law, the district must protect all student Internet activity on our devices. Securly also allows parents to access a Parent Portal. This provides parents with the ability to view and/or receive weekly reports on their child’s online activity on their school-issued Chromebook outside of the school day. The portal gives parents access to implement additional "parental controls" on their child's Chromebook in their home. To sign up for a Securly parent portal account, complete this Google Form.  Also, here is a link to Securly’s answers to frequently asked questions about their parent portal.

Schoology

Duxbury High School and Duxbury Middle School use Schoology as our learner management portal. Parents can use this Schoology Parent Guide to set up their Schoology account on Schoology's website
