Visibility of Rosters/Classes over the Summer
STUDENT AND GUARDIANS WILL SEE SOME DATA IN VARIOUS PRODUCTS
- Roster data will release to our digital products at the beginning of July to ensure data is syncing successfully. There will be intermittent access to several products where students/guardians will be able to see their rosters/classes.
- Messaging will go out next month informing guardians/students that schedule data will be visible in July in some platforms while we test the syncs and connections, but schedule/roster data will not be correct/accurate until AUGUST 12TH, and schedule change requests will NOT be accepted until that date.
SSO CHANGE - Moving from Clever over to ClassLink!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
MPS will migrate our digital products from the Clever portal over to the ClassLink portal over the summer. When we return for the 26-27 school year students and teachers will login to ClassLink to access their digital products. Their platforms are fairly similar, so we are hoping it will be a smooth transition for all.
- Login access points are available in the MPS Favorites folder in the Chrome and Edge browsers.
- Login access points are also available on the STAFF and STUDENTS pages on our MPS website.
- You can also save it to your own Bookmarks/Favorites bar: Moore ClassLink Login - https://launchpad.classlink.com/moore.
FEATURES:
- PK-2nd grade students will be able to use QR code badges called QUICK CARDS to login. Here's an article explaining how a teacher can PRINT OUT QUICK CARDS for their class.
- Junior high and high school teachers will be able to reset passwords for their students who cannot login. Here's an article explaining how to RESET STUDENT PASSWORDS.

IMPORTANT DATES!!!
As we move products over form Clever to ClassLInk, there will be disruptions to access on both platforms. Please review the timeline below to see an approximation of when access will be lost and re-established.
- JUNE 1ST - DISCONNECT CLASSLINK - Staff and students will lose access to products currently in ClassLink (ex: SORA, Knowt, EBSCO, 1EdTech, etc.)
- JULY 1ST - DISCONNECT CLEVER - Staff and students will lose access to most products in Clever (ex: Waterford, Canva, MyON, etc.)
- THROUGHOUT JULY - NO ACCESS / LIMITED ACCESS - Staff and students will lose access to most products in both Clever and ClassLink. There may be intermittent access periodically, but it will be random and inconsistent.
- AUGUST 10TH - ACCESS OPEN IN CLASSLINK- Staff and students will be able to access all products in ClassLink.
Leader in Me Access Available through the Summer
MINIMAL DISRUPTION
We know your Lighthouse Teams will be collaborating and working over the summer bringing that fourth-quarter energy, because that’s when champions really shine. Leader In Me access will stay in Clever throughout most of the summer, and access should not be greatly disrupted by the ClassLink migration.
We will let you know as soon as we move the LiM access point over to the ClassLink Launchpad, so you’ll know exactly when to make the switch.
ClassLink App Library - Limited Access to Free Apps
Many of you have experience using Clever’s Teacher Library, where you can add free apps to your classes without submitting a Program Approval Incident IQ ticket.
As we transition to ClassLink, you will not have immediate access to Classlink's Global App Library. This change is intentional to ensure that all apps available to you meet district expectations for curriculum alignment and ADA/WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance. Instead, you will have access to a custom library of free apps that have been carefully vetted and approved for instructional use.
When school begins, you will have access to your main district curriculum products, but the library of supplemental apps will not be available right away. We will update you when it opens and let you know as new apps are added and how to request apps.
