Student Securly Web Filter Information

MUSD uses Securly to keep students safe on their school-issued devices. To help you monitor your child’s online activity, MUSD has made available the free Securly Home app. This application allows web-based filtering and parental controls on school-issued devices at home. You may set rules to disallow certain websites, pause the internet connection to the device, and receive alerts about possible bullying or self-harm detected in email and web searches.

 

Account Creation
Parent Access accounts in Securly are rostered based on the guardian email address associated
with our student information system PowerSchool. All guardians in PowerSchool are provided with their own Securly Parent Access accounts. You will receive a weekly email report each Monday containing a sample of your child’s online activity over the previous week.

 

Step 1: Download the Securly Home App.

Get Parent Portal on the go. Real-time activity reports, right in the palm of your hand.

 

Step 2: Open the App and click on the “send me a link” button.

A link will be sent to the email address you have registered with your child’s Skyward account. Once you’ve clicked the link, you’ll be taken to the Securly Home App. Your account is ready to go!
