East Maine School District 63 (D63) serves over 3,500 students in the diverse communities of Des Plaines, Niles, Glenview, Park Ridge, and Morton Grove, Illinois. The district encompasses six elementary schools and one junior high school, with a commitment to providing equitable and innovative education for its students.
D63 faced significant challenges managing a growing library of digital resources. Students struggled to remember multiple passwords and locate the tools they needed, particularly in younger grades, where login processes consumed valuable classroom time. Teachers expressed frustration with the inefficiency, and IT staff were overwhelmed by proprietary rostering requirements. The district needed a comprehensive solution to streamline access, simplify rostering, and maximize the use of its digital tools.
ClassLink provided D63 with an all-encompassing platform to address its challenges. The district adopted ClassLink LaunchPad for single sign-on, Roster Server for secure roster delivery, and Analytics for usage monitoring. ClassLink QuickCards made accessing resources effortless for younger students, saving classroom time and redirecting focus to learning.
By automating processes and consolidating digital resources into a single interface, ClassLink significantly reduced the burden on IT staff. Teachers reported greater adoption of digital tools, seamlessly integrating them into curricula. Usage trends flourished as student logins and class rosters were automatically created.
ClassLink Analytics empowered administrators to monitor engagement across 157 connected apps, identifying and eliminating underused resources, and saving the district money. After successful implementation of LaunchPad and Roster Server, D63 became an early adopter of ClassLink OneSync, further enhancing its efficiency.
OneSync is way more intuitive and user-friendly compared to other products out there, and we tried a few of them.
