How to Generate a QuickCard for K-2 Students
Classlink is a web-based program that links student active directory accounts to other programs to prevent the need for multiple login requirements. Once a student has logged into their Classlink page the first time, they will have access to all of the programs provided by CMCSS that share the same credentials. Other programs that have different login requirements may be added to the launchpad. Students will log in to those programs one time from the launchpad. Subsequent visits to the site will not require a password unless it changes.
K-2 students may use a QR code to log into the laptop and Classlink to save instructional time that would otherwise be spent teaching students lengthy usernames and passwords. Please refer to the instructional video to learn how to generate these cards for your students.
