Students should start by logging into Clever using their school Google account. Clever provides one place to access the learning platforms and other digital tools used by Crosslake Community Schools.

From Clever, students can access the platform where their coursework is housed:

• In-Person K–8: Google Classroom
• Online K–8: Canvas and Buzz
• Online 9–12: Canvas and Buzz

Password reset options vary depending on the system you are trying to access. Some systems allow you to reset your password directly from the sign-in page, while others may require assistance from the Technology Help Desk.

If you are unsure how to reset your password or are still unable to sign in, contact the Technology Help Desk and our team can help you regain access.

Technology provided to students varies by school and grade level. For new students enrolling in the Online School, your enrollment contact will provide information about available technology and coordinate set up.

Online students may also choose to use their own computer instead of district-provided technology, as long as the device is capable of running the software and online learning tools required in their courses.

If you have questions about device requirements, setup or technology support, the Technology Help Desk is available to assist.

In-person students will receive any district-provided technology directly on campus.

If a district-provided device is lost, damaged or not working properly, contact the Technology Help Desk as soon as possible. Our team will help determine the next steps, which may include troubleshooting the issue, arranging a repair or coordinating a replacement device.

In-person students may also ask a staff member at school for assistance.

Grades and attendance are available in Infinite Campus.

Infinite Campus is new to Crosslake Community Schools for the 2026–27 school year and is now the district’s official student information system. It is the primary place for parents and guardians to view grades, attendance, schedules and other student information. Infinite Campus provides separate Campus Parent and Campus Student portals that can be accessed online or through the Infinite Campus mobile apps.

For the 2026–27 school year, parents and guardians were sent information to set up their new Infinite Campus Parent Portal accounts via email. Those communications included the link and information needed to create an account for the first time. Once your account has been created, you can continue using the same username and password to access Campus Parent throughout the school year.

If you have not yet set up your account:

1. Check your email for the Infinite Campus account setup information. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder if you are having difficulty locating.
2. Follow the account setup link and instructions in that message to create your Campus Parent account. Infinite Campus uses an activation process for new parent accounts before they can be accessed for the first time.
3. Sign in to Campus Parent using the CCS Infinite Campus link or the Campus Parent mobile app (available on Apple App and Google Play stores.
4. If you did not receive your setup information, your link is no longer working, or you are unable to access your account, contact the Technology Help Desk. Our team can help determine what is needed to get you connected.

Once logged in, parents and guardians can use Infinite Campus to access their student’s grades, assignments, attendance, schedule and other academic information anytime.

Students may use other learning platforms to complete coursework, participate in classes or communicate with teachers. However, Infinite Campus is the official place for families to check grades and attendance for the 2026–27 school year.

No. You do not need to download the ParentSquare app to receive communications from Crosslake Community Schools.

ParentSquare is the district’s primary communication platform for school and district announcements, reminders, forms, alerts and other important updates. Parent and guardian accounts are connected to the contact information on file with the district.

Downloading the ParentSquare app is optional. Families who choose to use the app may find it easier to keep school communications in one place and manage notification preferences.

If you prefer not to use the app, you can continue receiving ParentSquare communications through the other contact methods associated with your account and can also access ParentSquare through a web browser.

If you are not receiving ParentSquare notifications or believe your contact information may not be connected correctly, please contact the Technology Help Desk for assistance.

Yes. Online School students may use their own computer instead of a district-provided device, as long as it can reliably access the internet and run the software and learning tools required for their courses.

If you need to return a CCS-provided device or other technology, please follow the return instructions provided by your school or program.

Online School families will receive information about how and where to return district technology when a device is no longer needed or when a student leaves CCS. In-person students should return district-provided technology directly to their school.

If you are unsure where to return an item or what equipment needs to be returned, contact the Technology Help Desk for assistance.
