Classlink and other Updates
Account update
Any NEW 3-12 Grade students to JCPS will have to claim their account using this document: Claiming your account If students need to reset their password they can use the same process as in the past (until Classlink is fully functioning) Resetting your Password
Any returning student will NOT have to claim their account at this time (this includes rising 3rd graders).
Launch Tomorrow
Classlink will soft launch and be live tomorrow, August 7 - this will eventually change the experience on the Chromebook and the Staff Homepage will change. Please make teachers aware of this change if you see any apps not working as expected please reach out to Amy Stanley or Chris Godwin so we can adjust and thank you an advance as we work with this "Super Fast" launch!
More information to come as we continue to develop a robust experience for everyone.
Here is the Basic Quick Guide for you to share with your teachers.
Here is the Advanced Guide for you please offer it to teachers who have a handle on the basics.
K-2 Teachers will be able to print Quick Cards for log in. Here are directions for this as well - this is coming and will be available by early next.
Intro Video English
Intro Video Spanish
BIG NEWS - Templates are Now Available
Canvas Templates are READY please share this information with any teacher who is going to use Canvas for content delivery. Here is the Template Guide with directions and previews of each template we purchased.
Sanitizing your Chromebooks
Several of you have asked for guidance around sanitizing the chromebooks:
5 Steps to Sanitizing a Chromebook
Step 1: Power off the device. You will be applying liquid solutions to your Chromebook, so powering it off is a must.
Step 2: Remove any accessories or plug-ins such as cases, USBs, and headphones. Once removed, cases can be separately disinfected with sanitizing wipes or spray.
Step 3: Clean the Screen.
Clean the screen with an LCD-safe solution applied to a microfiber cloth.
Strong alcohols can eat away the coating on LCD screens. However, LCD-safe solutions can be used to properly disinfect Chromebook screens.
Never use Windex® or similar products, which contain ammonia.
Never use any solutions containing acetone, ethyl alcohol (ethanol), ethyl acid, or methyl chloride.
Never use paper towels, kitchen rags, or any type of cloth other than microfiber. These could damage your screen.
To clean, wet a microfiber cloth in LCD-safe solution so that it’s damp enough to feel wet, but not damp enough to create any drips (drips are bad. In extreme cases they can ruin the bottom edge of your screen if they get sucked between the layers of the LCD through capillary action). Rub the microfiber gently on the screen in a back-and-forth motion, using the broadest strokes you can. Avoid small circular motions, which can sometimes leave buffed-out spots or whorl marks on the screen.
Use 70% isopropyl alcohol applied to a soft cotton rag to wipe down the keyboard and external chassis.
DO NOT spray your device with disinfectant. It’s important that the solution is applied to a rag or cloth first so that liquid doesn’t seep into the keyboard. This can damage the keyboard itself or important components housed beneath. CAUTION–70% Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable, so keep it and anything covered in it away from any sources of ignition.
The 70% isopropyl alcohol in the solution is non-conductive (meaning there’s no need to worry about that part affecting the electronic components of the device). It’s the other 30%, which consists mainly of water, that is conductive. Because of this, it’s important that you power down your device pre-cleaning and wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated before turning your Chromebook back on.
If you’re like us, you may be thinking, “why don’t I just use a higher concentration of alcohol to speed the drying process?” Well, counterintuitively, the disinfectant properties of isopropyl alcohol drop off rapidly at concentrations higher than 70%³, so in this case, stronger isn’t better.

Reminder: iBoss Authentication
Chromebooks Authentication
(Elementary in particular take note)
On chromebooks there is an iBoss one time authentication page. You will simply click "Accept" and continue. This screen will appear for all users one time, here is a video of how to accept this screen. If you skip this step the chromebook's functionality might be limited. There is not a way to force the screen to appear again, so please encourage all users to complete this process when they are prompted.Imagine Learning Users
