ClassLink Launchpad

One impairment to instruction can be the large number of accounts and passwords that our students need to use on different websites.  There are often times where valuable class time is spent getting every student logged in to a site when it would be much better spent using the intended tools.

To help this, our District has a subscription to a service called ClassLink

ClassLink allows a single sign-on for staff and students for the many websites that require a username and password.  In other words, you don't have to remember, or forget, all of those accounts.All teachers and students can log in using their school Google account:


All K-4 students can log in using a QR Code.  These are printed on cards for every student.



Here is a very short video of what it looks like for a K-4 student to log in using a QR code:

Step 1:  Open the ClassLink App
Step 2: Tap on the Scan icon
Step 3: Hold your QR Code in front of the camera







For the accounts that are specific to you, such as Infinite Campus or Aleks, you only need to log in the first time through ClassLink, and it will do the rest.

This link will give you a Quick Guide that you can use or share with your students.
