​

What is Securly?

Securly is a cloud-based web filtering solution for schools. The system protects students and staff while using Internet resources in accordance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

​

If I install the Securly certificate on my personal device, what will it do?

The Securly certificate is only used for some HTTPS: connections while on school networks. It is one of many certificates in your Trusted Authorities browser store.

​

The certificate does NOT do the filtering. Installing the certificate on a personal laptop or phone will not filter the device off school premises. On your phone, turn off WiFi if you don’t want to be filtered.

​

District-owned and managed Chromebooks are the only devices which will be filtered off school grounds.

​

Does Securly filter the Internet at home?

Securly, will filter SVLSD owned and managed Chromebooks at home. This includes Chromebooks assigned to students and staff.
