Class Quick Card for K-1:

Class Quick Cards provide our youngest learners the ability to log in to their device via QR code. For instructions on how to print QR codes for your class watch this quick video: How to Locate and Print Class Quick Cards

*Note: Quick Cards are only available for K-1 teachers. Teachers are only able to print Quick Cards for students enrolled in their class.

Removing users from Chromebooks: If you have previous student’s names on the Chromebook screen, you can click the down arrow by their name and choose “Remove this person.” Students can remove prior users before logging in.

Classes will sync and be auto-rostered in Seesaw and Canvas prior to the first day of school. The sync will continue each night to stay up-to-date with your roster in Teacher Access Center. Keep in mind, it could take 24 - 72 hours for the sync to be reflected.
