Since the holidays, we've noticed more students having smart watches. Students should not be using them to message anyone or play games during school hours. In the case where they need to reach you during school, we will make sure you are contacted through the office or via email. If you need to reach them, please call the office or email your student's teacher. Thank you for your help on this!

Does your student want to log in to Classlink at home?

Go to: https://launchpad.classlink.com/leisd
Students use the same login they have at school.
The username is their lunch number (an 8 digit number 2008XXXX)
Their password is a 3 letter word with a capital letter (ask them if they know it), followed by a period and then their birthdate (i.e. One.0101)
