Alhambra Elementary School District (ESD) is a 1:1 district where every student receives a laptop or iPad. To fully support this modern learning environment, the district sought a robust infrastructure to enhance access to digital resources and streamline operations.
Before implementing ClassLink, Alhambra ESD faced significant barriers to technology adoption. Students, especially younger ones, struggled to access digital tools, leading to frustration and disengagement. Teachers were similarly discouraged from integrating technology into their instruction. Principal Amy Bradshaw of Barcelona Elementary remarked, "Those barriers really deterred teachers away from using technology meaningfully."
Additionally, administrators had no insight into app usage, and manual account management burdened IT staff, further hindering the district’s ability to support its digital learning goals effectively.
To address these challenges, Alhambra ESD adopted ClassLink’s full suite of products. LaunchPad provided seamless access to educational tools, with QuickCards making technology use effortless for younger students. "QuickCards made iPad use more intentional and more frequent in the primary grades," said Bradshaw.
OneSync automated account provisioning, streamlining the integration between Active Directory and Google Accounts. Roster Server introduced advanced Identity Access Management, ensuring student data security and facilitating safe data sharing with third-party vendors. "When it comes to Identity Access Management, ClassLink has done a nice job keeping us safe with our student data," noted IT Director Ruben Montoya.
Additionally, Analytics and Analytics+ offered valuable insights into digital resource usage, helping Alhambra ESD optimize resource allocation and make informed purchasing decisions.
The integration of ClassLink solutions has saved us an enormous amount of time and made a lot of day-to-day tasks around Alhambra disappear.
