5. Families with children sharing devices: Most of the tools we use in the District are built for Single Sign-On (SSO), which means a student has one username and password to use with all systems that support SSO. In our 1:1 world (grades 5-12) this works great, because one student is tied to one device. With students sharing a device with others, steps must be taken to properly logout of applications. There is no common device that all students are using, so it is difficult to have methods that work for all devices. For parents/students that are struggling to properly logout, follow the step-by-step instructions by click the appropriate link below:
