Accessing ClassLink from Home
Accessing ClassLink from Home
Did you know your child can access ClassLink from home? ClassLink is the secure login system students use to access instructional resources their teachers have made available to them, including programs such as i-Ready (for math) and Elefante Letrado (for Portuguese).
If you are interested in supporting your child's learning at home, we encourage you to check in with your child's teacher first to discuss what practice or support would be most meaningful based on your child's current instructional needs. Additional online practice is not necessary for every child, and we want to be thoughtful about how students spend their time on screens. We are also mindful of House Bill 273 and its guidance regarding screen time in different grade levels.
For families who would like to explore these resources at home, we have tutorials available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese (see links below). The instructions explain how to access ClassLink using a computer's web browser or an iPad.
ClassLink Instructions: English | Spanish | Portuguese

Timpanogos School District MOABS Discussion for Rocky Mountain Families
Timpanogos School District MOABS Discussion for Rocky Mountain Families
Rocky Mountain Elementary families are invited to join Timpanogos School District leadership and a board member for a community conversation about the district’s ongoing Mother of All Boundary Studies (MOABS), which is exploring potential school closures, consolidations, and boundary changes. This meeting will take place on Monday, November 9, at 4:00pm at Rocky Mountain Elementary.
This is an opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives, and discuss how we can best support students, families, and staff through potential transitions. Our conversation will focus on two important questions: If a school closes, what would help its students, families, and staff transition successfully to a new school? And if a school welcomes students and teachers from another school, what can we do to help them feel welcomed and become part of our community?
We hope you will join us for an open, thoughtful discussion focused on listening, asking questions, and considering how to best support our students and families through whatever changes may lie ahead.
