Clinton School District, a rural, mid-sized district serving 2,000 K-12 students an hour south of Kansas City, believed technology should make education more efficient—not more frustrating. However, managing student and staff access to digital tools was anything but simple. For administrators like Megan, keeping up with roster updates and ensuring seamless logins was a constant challenge. Without the right systems in place, the district faced daily struggles with inefficiencies, errors, and a lack of reliable support.
The district’s outdated system required manual data entry for every roster update, making mistakes inevitable. A single error could force the IT team to redo hours of work, creating unnecessary stress and delays. Troubleshooting was equally frustrating—without clear guidance, administrators were left to figure things out on their own. Clinton School District needed a solution that would eliminate these inefficiencies, ensure reliable access for students and staff, and provide much-needed support for administrators.
ClassLink transformed the district’s approach to digital access. Roster Server eliminated manual data entry, seamlessly syncing student and staff information to prevent errors and wasted time. LaunchPad introduced a simple, secure single sign-on experience, allowing students and staff to log in once and access all their resources without juggling multiple passwords. Beyond the technology, what made the biggest impact was ClassLink’s support. With access to the ClassLink Community, Help Center resources, and user groups, Megan and her team finally had a reliable network of experts and peers to turn to for troubleshooting and best practices.
With ClassLink in place, Clinton School District reclaimed countless hours previously lost to roster errors and login frustrations. Administrators no longer had to redo rosters from scratch or troubleshoot problems without a clear solution. Instead of battling technology, they could focus on supporting students and teachers—ensuring digital learning ran smoothly for everyone.
I love ClassLink, truly, truly, truly. And I love sharing it with others. I always say, hands down, best money we've ever spent in education from an administrative level was our money spent on ClassLink.
