Keep Students Safe Online
with Securly

St. Ray's is now providing families with the ability to monitor and control their students' internet and app activity on school devices at home using the free Securly Home app. As a parent, you can use Securly to stay on top of your child’s online activity in real time from anywhere, with the Securly Home App. You can use this online activity feed to open a dialogue with your child about their digital lives. Securly will also send you weekly email reports with a snapshot of your child’s internet activity.

As a reminder, The Cathedral of St. Raymond School Chromebook Handbook states that there should be no expectation of privacy when using district-issued devices. Families should remember that Securly is active not only when students are connected to home networks, but also when connected to hotspots and public networks such as those offered at Starbucks, McDonalds, etc.

HOW DO I USE THE SECURLY HOME APP?
Once you create a parent account, you will have a real-time view of your child's activity on the school Chromebook. You will also get a weekly email from Securly with a snapshot report of that activity and will be able to check your student’s internet activity anytime during the day.

Keep in mind that no web filter is perfect and there is the risk of inappropriate content making its way through the filter. Securly does catch and filter a majority of traffic categorized as pornography, drugs, and gambling. However, active monitoring while communicating your expectations and boundaries clearly with your children is the best way to keep them safe online. Our hope is that the SecurlyHome app will help you in this process.
