This method of rostering is best for teachers that have previously integrated with a ClassLink for rostering, managing student information, and SSO program access.
Please note, only your District Administrator for ClassLink may make the connection.
If your school has some users who are not in your student information system (SIS) but need access, you may upload them manually through the teacher dashboard.
Open Programs in Web Browser: While we fully support launching ABCmouse from the ClassLink Launchpad, our programs are not currently supported when running inside the Launchpad window itself. To avoid tech support and performance issues and ensure the best experience for your teachers and students, make sure ClassLink is set up to open a web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, when logging students into our programs.
Rostering with ClassLink
- Go to https://wwww.classlink.com and log in to your Launchpad. Then open the hamburger menu on the top left and select Management Console.
- Click Roster Server in the left-side navigation select Manage. If it prompts you to sign to the Roster Server, simply click Login.
-
In the top navigation bar of the Roster Server, select the All Applications tab from the drop-down menu.
-
Search for "ABCmouse" in the Company Name search box. Click the +Add button for the ABCmouse for Teachers app, which is required for rostering in ClassLink.
Set your permissions for ABCmouse for Teachers
Select Full Permissions to include all users in the Roster server (teachers and students). Full Permissions is the simplest choice, but Rule-Based Permissions gives you greater control of your Roster data if you are comfortable setting ClassLink permissions and can insure that you have sufficient licenses for student you roster.
-
Once permissions have been set, click the Return to Apps button, or select Apps > All Applications from the menu at the top of the page as shown in step 3 above.
- Toggle the switch under the Enabled column for the app. Once the individual apps have been enabled, they will now be visible for all licensed users in their ClassLink Launchpad portal. (Users who do not have a license will encounter an error when attempting to log in.)
