This year at Winnona Park, students will be using individual QR codes to log into the computer which will take them to a customized, CSD “Launchpad.” The online resources in the Launchpad are all optional for use at home. Once in the Launchpad, and for some products, they will have direct access without entering an additional password. Some programs will require a separate password provided by their teacher and others may not require a password at all. In addition to the paper copy of the QR code you were provided by your child’s teacher, you are welcome to take a picture, or make a paper copy. If you do not know your student's ID/lunch number, you can find this in Infinite Campus; teachers should also be sending them home.
The following products are available in the Launchpad.
