ClassLink: ClassLink is your single sign-on solution!
For who?: Teachers, Students, Admin, Staff
What Will ClassLink Do?: ClassLink is a page that will store your usernames and passwords for the websites you use for school. It also allows you to store bookmarks.
How?
School or home
Chrome browser (with extension already pushed by District on District devices)
Launchpad.classlink.com/chino OR
Links found on all school sites under Staff & Student menus; teacher sites
Login with Network username and password
Single Sign On Apps vs. Bookmarks: An SSO app is one that typically requires a username and password in the upper right corner. Once your username and password are entered they are saved nad you do not need to enter them again. Any app without the key is a bookmark.
Tips:
Load the App!
Access all your District apps from your mobile device! Download the ClassLink Launchpad from any app store (Apple Store or Google Play)
Search for Chino, select;
Log in with your Network username and password;
Sign in to access apps!
How do I change a username or password?
Right-click the app,
Choose “Edit Password”,
Select blue pencil icon on right

How do I remove an app from a folder?: Right-click the app, select Remove App from dropdown menu. If unable to remove, consider making a folder to hide.
Being asked to install a Chrome extension?: Answer yes and add to Chrome. (District-issued devices already have the extension installed).

Delete apps with the red X in each app’s upper right corner. A lock symbol indicates an item you cannot delete (hide instead).

The Chino Valley Unified School District has introduced a tool to students and teachers called a Single Sign-On (SSO) which will make using the internet much easier at school and at home.
Student accounts are already set up: users do not need to remember usernames and passwords for apps once they are logged into ClassLink.
All student cloud storage can be found on one place.
Students may store bookmarks for resources used often.
Where is ClassLink?
Enter “launchpad.classlink.com/chino” OR
Click the link on your school’s website in the Student menu
Use at school and at home on Chrome browser.
Home computers will require ClassLink Chrome extension (you will be prompted).
How Do Students Log In?
Username: typically the first initial last name, but can vary (the student’s District Username)
Password: two initials followed by three digits (the student’s District Password)
Setting Up ClassLink: Most student Single Sign-On Apps will have student login information already, but there may be a few apps for which students need to enter their own username/password. It is likely this event will occur at school, however students who receive the pop-up may need to enter their own information the first time (only) using certain SSO Apps.
Icons
Some icons (with a key) are Single Sign-On Apps. When selected, it should already know your username and password for that app, and the user should be taken to the website and be logged in.
Other icons (without a key) are just bookmarks for sites that do not require you to log.
