ClassLink is a single sign-on web program that has been designed to organize and streamline how our students are accessing educational programs. Certain applications, such as Office 365 and Seesaw, will automatically sign the students into the program while others will require them to enter a one-time username and password for quick and easy access each time after.
The browser extension is a critical part of using ClassLink at home and will require a one-time download of the extension on any personal computer. This extension is how ClassLink will automatically sign you into many of the instructional programs used in the district. Please follow the links below for additional details on installing the extension:
