A Slow Start for Students and Staff

Enrolling students and granting access to digital resources was a slow and complicated process. It could take up to a month for new students to receive accounts for multiple applications, delaying their ability to begin coursework. This not only disrupted learning but also placed a heavy administrative burden on staff. Additionally, the district faced concerns about securely sharing student data with vendors, needing a solution that prioritized both efficiency and privacy.

Instant Access and Protected Privacy for Utah Schools

Piute County School District, located in south-central Utah, serves a small but growing community of around 300, K-12 students. Recently, the district expanded its reach by opening an online school for students across the state of Utah. 

Challenge

Enrolling students and granting them access to their digital resources was a tedious process in the past for Piute County schools. Each student needed separate accounts for multiple applications, which could take up to a month to set up after enrollment. This delay disrupted learning and created a significant administrative burden. Also, sharing student data with vendors presented privacy concerns. Piute County School District needed a more efficient, secure, and reliable solution for managing student accounts and digital resources.

Solution

With LaunchPad, students use one password for all their apps, eliminating login hassles. Roster Server automates rostering by syncing SIS data and assigning resources by grade and subject.

ClassLink DataGuard encrypts student data for secure vendor access, ensuring sensitive information stays protected. OneSync speeds up enrollment by automating account creation. Analytics+ delivers insights into app usage and user activity from school-issued devices.

Results

Students now access all their learning tools immediately after enrollment, boosting their learning experience from day one. For staff, OneSync automates account setup across multiple platforms, relieving the burden of manual processes. With ClassLink Analytics+, the district gains actionable insights into software usage, helping leaders decide what to renew or reconsider. DataGuard strengthened data privacy by encrypting and anonymizing student information shared with vendors for a safer digital environment.

“ClassLink has been instrumental for our district, because we're able to do everything seamlessly. It's something that I don't think I could live without now.”
