District Updates
ClassLink
- If staff or students cannot access ClassLink or if they are missing apps, please email servicedesk@lynnschools.org, bansfields@lynnschools.org, mowerj@lynnschools.org, wryd@lynnschools.org, and colellac@lynnschools.org
- After much thought, we have decided not to add Schoology to ClassLink. We are recommending that all teachers add the ClassLink URL, https://launchpad.classlink.com/lynnschools to their course pages so students will be able to access all resources both from within ClassLink as well as through the link pushed out by the Help Desk.
- We have requested the Helpdesk push the link and chrome browser extension to all laptops and the app to iPads.
Teams
- Teams messenger has been turned off for all students. Please let the helpdesk know if problems continue with students accessing.

- HelpDesk will notify principals when they have devices ready to swap out old student laptops
- All student devices have been updated with the most recent version of Windows 10.
