Frontier Central School District, located in Hamburg, NY, serves 5,000 students and employs 402 teachers across six schools. The district is committed to fostering 21st-century learning and empowering students.
Staff and IT leaders at Frontier Central School District were frustrated with the time spent on login issues, forgotten passwords, and manually rostering students into digital resources. These challenges hindered their ability to focus on enhancing instruction and empowering students with technology.
Dr. Richard Hughes, Superintendent, recognized the need for a comprehensive single sign-on and rostering solution to overcome these barriers. After introducing ClassLink in 2017, the district gained instant access to programs, apps, and files from any device. ClassLink's single sign-on solution simplified logins for students and staff, while Roster Server automated the roster management process, saving the IT team significant time. Dr. Hughes was impressed with ClassLink’s ease of use for both end-users and administrators, as well as the valuable usage analytics it provided.
As a result, Frontier Central School District has been able to regain meaningful instructional time for teachers and ensure students have the digital resources they need for learning.
From a Superintendent perspective, a single sign-on solution that allows you to see what software and tools the kids are actually using and how often they are using it, reveals if every tool in the toolbox actually has a purpose.
