Joshua Independent School District (JISD), located in Johnson County, Texas, serves 15,000 students across 76 square miles, including the communities of Burleson, Crowley, Joshua, Egan, and Cleburne.
Joshua ISD faced significant inefficiencies due to disorganized access to digital resources. Teachers and students spent excessive time locating apps and logging in, cutting into valuable classroom instruction. Teachers often resorted to managing students’ passwords manually, with some, like special education teacher Jennifer Soules at A.G. Elder Elementary, relying on physical password lists to assist students. This cumbersome process limited the ability to integrate multiple programs into a single class period and added stress for educators.
Joshua ISD selected ClassLink as their single sign-on (SSO) platform to streamline access to digital learning tools and files. The solution allows students and staff to sign in once to access all resources from a single, easy-to-use platform, whether in the classroom or at home.
By implementing ClassLink, teachers reclaimed instructional time, reducing the hassle of managing passwords and improving overall efficiency. “ClassLink has definitely alleviated [the password issues] and put more time back in my instructional day,” shared Soules. The centralized access also enables teachers to seamlessly incorporate multiple programs into their lessons, enhancing learning experiences.
School administrators recognized the value of ClassLink’s accessibility for users of all ages and education levels. Fourth-grade teacher Tonya Bryant emphasized the transformative impact, saying, “ClassLink helps me as a teacher have less stress, no other program does that.”
ClassLink has become a vital tool for Joshua ISD, saving time, reducing stress, and enhancing access to digital resources for students and teachers alike.
ClassLink provides an opportunity for us to use technology in a much easier way. What we have found is that we have so many online resources now, from paperless textbooks to online software that students use, and ClassLink will put everything that every student or staff member needs all in one location.
