ClassLink

ClassLink is the district Single Sign-On (SSO) that will be used by students and staff to access digital curriculum/resource sites that are SSO capable. This eliminates the need for a user to remember multiple usernames and passwords.

ParentSquare is fully integrated with SchoolTool and is used to send updates to our families via email, text and voice. ParentSquare features an app and website which allow for direct messaging, attendance notifications, sign-ups for parent conferences and classroom events, and direct tracking of forms and permission slips. Additionally, it translates communications into 100 languages and is compliant with the latest student privacy regulations.

Parents can login to ParentSquare using their email or phone number on record in SchoolTool. The ParentSquare app is available for iOS and Android devices.
