Semester Transition from S1 to S2

As you prepare for the new semester, your Securly Classroom classes will automatically sync and appear in your dashboard. To help keep your classes organized, here are a few tips:

Archive S1 Classes

When S2 starts you will see both, S1 and S2 classes in your Securly Dashboard. You can hide your S1 classes from the Classes menu by archiving them. This provides you with a way to clean up your class list by removing old, unused classes. The process can be reversed by unarchiving the class. The Archive and Unarchive options are available in list view on the Classes menu.

Archiving a class will also disable any applicable class schedules.

Assign Nicknames to Classes

You can set a custom nickname for each of your synced classes to make them easier to identify. When assigning nicknames, consider using a strategic format like "Period 1 [Subject]" or "Period 2 {Subject]". Simply click on the class name in the Classes menu, enter your preferred nickname, and save the changes.

Pin Classes in Reverse Order

To customize the order your classes appear in, you can pin them in reverse order. Start by pinning the class you want to appear last, then the second-to-last class, and so on. This will sort your classes in the order you prefer.

By taking a few moments to set up your classes, you can streamline your Securly Classroom experience and stay organized throughout the semester. If you have any other questions, be sure to reach out to HelpDesk for assistance.

What is Securly

Securly is an internet filtering and classroom management software, similar to Blocksi.

We are currently piloting Securly at 12 school sites: Bret Harte, Burbank, Enslen, Marshall, Tuolumne, Wilson, La Loma, Roosevelt, Beyer, Davis, Enochs, and Gregori.

Important Information for Pilot Schools:
During the 2024-25 school year, Securly will replace Blocksi at these pilot schools. This means these schools will no longer use Blocksi for the remainder of this school year.

Background of this pilot:

Goal to have a well-working unified solution for Classroom Management and Internet Filtering
IETS did extensive testing with promising vendors, Securly results were encouraging for pilot in 2024-25
Securly replaces Blocksi system for pilot schools
