Email and Zoom Class Directions for Students
2023-2024
Overview for Joining a Class
To ensure the best virtual safety possible we require that participants be logged into their Visions email to attend classes on Zoom. Personal email addresses can not be used for student classes. Review the Virtual Learning Expectations document in advance of your first class meeting to ensure you are prepared to join class.
To get set up:
Accessing Your Student’s Visions E-mail
Login to your Parent Launchpad Account.
Click on the blue student ID number under your students name.
Locate your student's username and student ID number. Write both of these down on a piece of paper.
Recommended Browser: Google Chrome
Accessing Your Student’s Visions E-mail
Open an incognito window, or log out of your parent Launchpad account if you are using the same browser.
On a PC, right click on the chrome icon, select “New Incognito Window”
On a Mac, go up to File, then select “New Incognito Window” from the drop down.
Recommended Browser: Google Chrome
Accessing Your Student’s Visions E-mail
Log back into Launchpad using your student’s username and password.
Enter only the student username, not the @viedu.org. (ex: mm9105).
The password is your student ID number. You will be redirected to reset this once you are logged in.
If your initial password does not work, you may reset it by choosing "Forgot Password". Input your students username. This will send an email to your parent email account with a password reset link. Please choose a password that will be easy for your student to type and remember. Return to Launchpad and login using the students username (just the initials and numbers) and the new password.
This is where you will find your Quick Launch for i-Ready as well!
Accessing Your Student’s Synchronous Instructional Classes
Click on the envelope icon in your students Launchpad to open their gmail.
Before your classes begin, there will be a Google Calendar invitation from your Credentialed Teacher for their class in this inbox.
Please accept this invitation and check your Google Calendar to make sure the information is correct. You can access Google Calendar using the waffle icon in the top right corner of chrome.
