The session is automatically available in all views. You don't need to send it in the query string:

Session IDs in URLs

The Django sessions framework is entirely, and solely, cookie-based. It does not fall back to putting session IDs in URLs as a last resort, as PHP does. This is an intentional design decision. Not only does that behavior make URLs ugly, it makes your site vulnerable to session-ID theft via the “Referer” header.

All you have to do, is make sure the session hasn't expired:

def home(request):
  foo = request.session.get('foo')
  if not foo:
     print('Oops! Session has expired. Do something')
  else:
     print('Session is still valid, value of foo is {}'.format(foo))
  return render(request, 'index.html', {'foo': foo})

Have a read of the documentation, sessions in django are very straightforward.
