ClassLink is the portal to most learning applications. A few helpful things to know:

• Students using a school issued chromebook will be directed to the portal upon login.
• If using a personal device, go to launchpad.classlink.com/hcde
• If it doesn’t have the /hcde at the end, your log in won’t work.
• STUDENTS click sign in with Google.
• TEACHERS enter Username and Password.

From ClassLink, students may want to start at their LMS (Learning Management System). There will be a link on their ClassLink page.

• For Grades K – 2, this is ClassDojo.
• For Grades 3 – 8, this is Canvas.

Troubleshooting common issues:

• Be sure the student is logged in with their HCDE google account. If the parent email is being used, some things may not work correctly.
• If something isn’t working, try a different browser. Many of the sites we are using this year work well in Chrome.
• Refresh the page, sometimes that helps. 
• Clearing the cookies in the browser may help authentication issues.
• When using Zoom or other video meeting software, close all browser windows that are not being used. Having multiple tabs and applications open may cause connectivity issues or a lag in the connection.
