Weekly Planner Expectations
This year in 5th grade we are using planners every day to help students learn to track assignments and start preparing for middle school. Every student will be asked to write in their planners for each subject every day.
Join us for an All Day Spirit Day at Chick-fil-A
Visit Chick-fil-A and mention Baker Spirit Night when you place your order, or use code "Baker" in the mobile app and 15% of your total comes directly to Baker. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you there!
Pictographs for Elementary Students
Prosper ISD will be enabling pictograph multifactor authentication for our 2nd through 5th-grade students starting August 21st. We will enable these on a per-school basis through August 28th.
What is a Pictograph?
A pictograph is a simple, visual picture used as a second layer of login security. Instead of entering a code or typing an extra password, your child selects a specific picture (such as an animal, object, or symbol) that only they know.
Why Are We Adding Pictographs?
Protecting your child’s digital safety and personal data is our top priority. As cybersecurity standards evolve, passwords alone are no longer enough to protect student accounts. By adding a Pictograph, a simple visual Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) step, we add a powerful layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to your child's Classlink Launchpad and Chromebook.
How Pictograph Login Works:
Initial Setup (One-Time): During enrollment at school, your child will be prompted to choose and memorize a specific image from a secure list.
Daily Logins: After entering their standard username and password on their Chromebook or Classlink Launchpad, students will select their chosen picture to complete the login.
At-Home Access: If your child logs into Classlink from home, the process remains exactly the same: username, password, then select their picture!
How You Can Help at Home:
Talk with your child about keeping their chosen image secret—just like a password.
If your child forgets their picture, don't worry! Our campus technicians and helpdesk can assist you with resetting it.
