Classlink District Admins: District Setup Instructions

This document is intended for district admins already set up with Classlink integration by Lab-Aids. If your district is interested in a Classlink integration and has not already been set up, please contact portals@lab-aids.com for the next steps.

1. Verify rosters for accuracy

  • After logging in as district admin, click the "Roster" link on the left menu. Under this option, you'll see the following items: Class, Teacher, and Student. Click on each to verify that the rosters we have synced from Classlink match the data shared with us.

  • Note that any recent changes can take 24 hours to be synced to the Lab-Aids Portal.

2. Create school admins, if necessary

  • When your district account is first setup, Lab-Aids will create a school admin account for each school if none are synced via Classlink. This is a system requirement for the Lab-Aids Portal.

  • However, we find that many districts prefer to handle all administrative tasks at the district level, making the school admin accounts insignificant.

  • You (district admin) can serve as each school's admin, or you can assign each school's admin role to someone at the school level. One school admin must be added for each school.

  • Please add a school admin user account for any newly synced schools after the initial setup phase.

To add a school admin:

  • After logging in as the district admin, click the "School" link on the left-hand side menu, then click "School Admin."

  • Click "Add Admin." Enter in all details, then click "Save."

  • Repeat for all schools.

2. School Admin - Add School Admin
8 district admin add school admin

A) Select the school to which you're adding this school admin

B) [Optional]: Select admin title

C) Enter first name

D) Enter last name

E) Enter telephone

F) Enter email address / username of admin. If you are entering yourself as the school admin for each school, you may enter a fake email address, since you'll likely be using your district admin account for all admin purposes. If your school admin is someone other than you, the email address must be real.  

G) Enter password. Password length must be between 6 and 20 characters. 

H) Leave "Assign Language" blank. 

I) Send email to user: If your school admin is someone other than you, you'll want to check this box to have the system send the admin an email with their username, password, and helpful instructions. We recommend you select this checkbox, as these emails are quite useful.
