Agora Tech. Basics
for Learning Coaches
ClassLink
ClassLink is a program that acts as a 'warehouse' for the rest of the programs you will use at Agora. When you are logged into ClassLink, you will see icons for the rest of your logins. Some of the apps will work automatically. For others, you will need to enter your credentials the first time you use them. ClassLink will remember this information after that.
Students also have ClassLink which gives them access to the programs they need for schooling.
If you'd like to know more about ClassLink, check out the page HERE.
Sapphire Community Portal
Sapphire is the name of our Student Information System (SIS). This is the program Learning Coaches will use for checking grades, submitting attendance excuses, and a variety of other functions.
Learning Coaches will need to apply for their accounts in Sapphire. If you'd like to know more about the program, check out our Sapphire page HERE.
The Online School (OLS)
The online school is used mostly by students for instruction and completing work. Learning Coaches will use the OLS to monitor student progress and manage accounts. If you have multiple students enrolled, you can see all of them from one account when logged into the OLS.
For more information regarding the Online School, check out our OLS page HERE.
ParentSquare
ParentSquare is Agora's communication platform that provides Learning Coaches with a variety of ways to connect with the school. You may receive emails or alerts delivered by this platform, but also have the ability to text/chat with individual staff members.
For more information on ParentSquare, check out the info page HERE.
