Hello Parents/Guardians,

Find out what's happening in Plymouth-Cantonfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

We are excited to announce that starting today, parents/guardians will have access to Securly Home. Plymouth-Canton Community Schools has been using Securly, an online content filter, to filter district-issued Chromebooks for about four years. The district has now expanded our contract with Securly to offer new and enhanced features, such as Securly Home, at no cost to families. Using Securly Home, parents/guardians can monitor and restrict the content that their students can access on their district-issued devices. Please watch this brief 90-second video for more information about Securly Home.

During the next 24 hours, you will receive an onboarding email from Securly with instructions on how to enroll with Securly Home and link your account to your student(s). Please note that the email you receive will be from noreply@securly.com. Please also be sure to check your spam folder if you do not see the email in your inbox.

The Securly Home portal will be accessible via app (Apple Store and Google Play Store), as well as web browser (https://securly.com/parent-login). After you have logged into the portal, you will have access to the following:

  • Activity: Gives an overview and browsing history of the students' take home device.

  • Rules: Allows you to adjust the content filtering and schedule internet downtime. Please note that you will only be able to make the rules more strict than what is already in place and that the rules you apply will only work when your student is not at school.

    • We are excited to bring this new feature to you and expect it to roll out without any issues. However, if you have any questions or concerns, first please check out the FAQs on the Securly Home help site or submit a support ticket with Securly. If further assistance is still needed, please contact your school’s technology support team.

    Thank you.
