Computer Hall Pass limits school Chromebooks to the websites your teachers approve — nothing else opens. Each grade level gets its own list, set by the people who actually teach them.
Supports your CIPA obligations · No student names or search terms collected · Set up in an afternoon
Most school filters work by blocking a list of things you don't want. The list is never finished, and a curious eleven-year-old will always be faster than it. Computer Hall Pass works the other way around: nothing opens unless a teacher approved it.
Add the handful of sites a lesson actually needs. Everything else is closed by default — including everything nobody thought to block yet.
Nursery, middle school, and high school each get their own approved list and their own schedule. One console, separate worlds.
Set the window web access works. Outside it — evenings, weekends, study hall — devices lock themselves without anyone doing anything.
No servers to run, no images to re-flash, no per-device fiddling.
You get an administrator login. Your teachers get their own logins, scoped to only the grade levels they teach.
One policy in your existing Google Admin console force-installs Computer Hall Pass to the Chromebooks you choose. Students can't remove it, and it survives a factory reset.
Enter a short code once per Chromebook to tie it to a grade level. The code carries no student information.
Adding a site for tomorrow's lesson takes about five seconds and doesn't require calling IT.
Monitoring software for children deserves more scrutiny than most software, not less. The safest student data is the data nobody ever collected — so we designed around collecting almost none of it.
Read the full privacy policy. We're glad to sign your district's data privacy agreement, including the standard NDPA.
We're in early pilots right now, so pricing is worked out together on a quick call rather than off a price list — book a demo below and we'll walk through what fits.
No Google Admin console needed. Works on any Chromebook.
Force-installed through your Google Admin console — no off switch. Requires a Chrome Education Upgrade license per device, passed through at cost — this is the same license GoGuardian, Securly, and Lightspeed all require too.
Chromebooks must be enrolled in your own Google Admin console to force-install any extension. That's a Google requirement for all Chromebook management software, not something we add — we'll walk you through it.
Not when it's installed the way we set it up. Your IT admin force-installs it through your Google Admin console, which means it can't be removed from the device, and it comes back automatically even after a factory reset. That's why enrolled Chromebooks are a requirement rather than a suggestion.
Devices keep enforcing the last set of rules they downloaded. A network problem on our end never turns a locked-down classroom Chromebook into an open browser — and neither does a billing issue. We consider unlocking devices over an unpaid invoice a safeguarding failure, not a collections tactic.
Yes. You can allow Google with SafeSearch permanently forced on and image search blocked. Being straight with you: that stops the obvious routes, but no browser-based filter can promise a determined teenager will never reach anything inappropriate. Anyone claiming otherwise is overselling. For the strongest protection, pair us with network-level filtering.
No — that's usually the thing schools most want fixed. Teachers get their own login scoped to the grade levels they teach, and can add a site themselves in a few seconds. They can't see or change another grade's settings.
We record that a blocked site was attempted, on which device, at what time — the site name only. We never receive student names, never receive search terms, and never receive full web addresses. Students don't have accounts in our system at all. Records auto-delete on the schedule you set.
It supports two of the pieces: filtering, and demonstrable monitoring records. CIPA compliance also requires an adopted internet safety policy and public notice, which stay the school's responsibility. We're not able to make anyone "CIPA certified" — no vendor can, since that certification doesn't exist.
Fifteen minutes. We'll set up a pilot on a handful of devices so you can watch it work before anyone signs anything.
