Washingtonville Central School District, located in Washingtonville, New York, serves 4,000 students across five schools. The district's Director of Technology, Joseph Catania, has extensive experience leading digital transformation efforts in K-12 education. Having previously implemented ClassLink in other districts, Catania was pleased to find it already in use at Washingtonville CSD, streamlining access to digital resources for students, teachers, and IT staff.  

As the district expanded its digital resources, users faced mounting challenges with access and security. Teachers and students struggled to locate and log in to their applications, leading to frequent password reset requests that overwhelmed IT staff. Additionally, the process of rostering students into various educational applications was difficult and time-consuming. District leaders recognized the need for a centralized, efficient solution to simplify digital access and reduce administrative burdens.  

Since implementing ClassLink, Washingtonville CSD has transformed its approach to digital learning. The platform provides seamless, one-click access to applications and network files from any location, significantly reducing login issues and freeing up classroom time. IT staff use ClassLink Roster Server to securely and efficiently manage class rosters using the OneRoster® standard, and the district continues to expand its use of OneRoster® applications as more publishers adopt data standards.

Additionally, OneSync has improved account management, replaced older systems, and saved Washingtonville CSD $12,000 annually. With ClassLink, the district has seen a 37% increase in user logins, fewer IT support requests, and more instructional time reclaimed—empowering students and teachers with effortless access to the digital tools they need.
