Welcome to Classlink, the new Single Sign on portal used by Capital School District and the Delaware Department of Education. 

Here is how you login:

How to login to IMS and other DOE Applications

Please watch the video below for a visual explanation on how to find IMS and other IMS applications.

DOE is still working to move all IMS applications over to Classlink. For now, only a few are available in the "DDOE Applications Library" in Classlink, along with a special IMS icon to login to access all other IMS applications not available in Classlink*. 

*Important Note: You will still need to request permissions inside of IMS applications (like eSchool and PowerSchoolEP) via service request. The steps below will just add the application to your Classlink Dashboard, this does not necessarily provide direct access to many applications. We realize this is a change from how IMS worked previously, but in the future this will provide more self service options to all staff. 

How to add resources to your Classlink Portal

Classlink provides a unique opportunity for Staff to add resources directly to their own portals, allowing you to focus only on the links that you need. In the video tutorial below it will show you how to add items to your portal* in less than 60 seconds.

*Important Note: Many applications listed in the Staff resource library are rostered through Classlink or Clever based on data from eSchool, so you may not have access to all items in the list.

1. Students have to have a quick card generated by their teacher in the Quick Card Classlink Application
2. Students should be provided the quick card in a lanyard and holder they can securely keep with them at all times.

• Classlink Quick Cards must be generated by the Classroom Teacher. These cannot be generated by anyone who is not assigned as a teacher in the eSchool Course.
  
  
• You do not need to generate Quick Cards for students in more than one course. For example, if a student has a Reading, Writing, Math, and Library course, the classroom teacher should choose one course (Usually Reading will suffice for Grade PK-1) and generate the Quick Cards. The Library teacher does not also need to generate Quick Cards. 
  
  
• If you delete a students Quick Card(or regenerate it), the current Quick Card will stop working immediately. 
  
  
• There is no need to delete Quick Cards for former students. As long as students are deactivated in eSchool, their login will also stop functioning.
  
  
• There is no need to regenerate Quick Cards when a student changes classrooms. The Quick Card information will follow their eSchool schedule over to the new teacher. 
  
  
• Quick Cards should be kept confidential as they contain a students full username and password in the QR code. Students should never share or photograph another students Quick Card.
  
  
• Quick Cards only function on Capital School District Chromebooks. Quick cards can be used on a home/personal device to login to Classlink directly at https://www.capital.k12.de.us/classlink as long as the device the are using contains a working camera. If the device is a tablet or phone, they will require the Classlink App to be installed.

How to Login with a Quick Card:

1. On the Login Screen for the Chromebook, click the Quick Card symbol under the blue button (image above).
   
   
2. This will launch the QR code reader. Hold the QR Code on the badge up into the camera view. Once the reader see's the code, the login will happen automatically.
