Accessing Class Link Usernames/Passwords
ClassLink is a single sign-on platform that allows our students access to school applications and online educational resources such as Google for Education apps, online textbooks, library resources and more. ClassLink can be accessed from a computer or a mobile device.
PK - Kindergarten:
Our younger students will be receiving a ClassLink Quickcard to access ClassLink. If you need a replacement, please reach out to your child's teacher.
1st - 5th Grade:
1st - 5th graders have created their own password during their computer lab time over the past week. In addition, they will continue practicing logging into ClassLink using the "Sign in with Google" option. All students have received a sticker with their username as well as the password they have created.
Students will be using their passwords in school often, so please do not change your child's password. If a student needs assistance retrieving their password they should see Mrs. Kim in the computer lab.
6th - 8th Grade:
Students in 6th-8th grade that need assistance with their password should see Mr. Reyes or Mrs. Dooley.

Welcome back from your StJPII school counselors! We hope you had a wonderful summer break and are looking forward to a fabulous new school year. Ms. Jennifer Quinlan works with the elementary students (PreK-5th) and Mrs. Betty Costantini works with the middle school students (6th-8th). Please feel free to contact us if we can help in any way. Parents often ask us, "How can I help my child at home?" Mrs. Costantini has read some articles and composed a list of ways parents can help their child with organization. These tips are great to read/review as we begin our 2021-2022 school year.
God's Blessings,

Volunteer in the Library

Attention Library Volunteer Angels! Do you like to help children find a just right book? Do you like to help your school save money? Do you love giving service to the school here on campus? Library Volunteer Angels could use your assistance! We love having CMG certified parents to help us here in the library. Working in 30 minute or hour long shifts, parents can perform such needed tasks as: stamping books, attaching covers, stickers and more, checking students in and out, helping little ones in finding the perfect book to check out, and more. We would love your assistance. Please reach out to Mrs. Stephanie Dunn, our head library volunteer. She will gather your information. After an orientation training session you will be ready to serve the school with valuable help to our students. Reach Mrs. Dunn at her email address dunn_steph@hotmail.com. I look forward to seeing you in the school library!
Happy Reading,
