[Org Admins and School Admins] ClassLink Integration Introduction and Overview

Connecting your Hatch account to ClassLink allows you to easily and automatically roster your children, teachers, and families into the Ignite by Hatch™ learning platform. Taking advantage of the single sign-on (SSO) removes the need to manage separate usernames and passwords, ensuring that the right user can access the right application seamlessly and at any time. 

 

Information isn't static, and keeping all of your systems up to date with the latest information can be a challenge. Roster Sync keeps your roster information up to date with the latest changes—coming directly from your student information system to ClassLink to Hatch—ensuring children, teachers, administrators, and families always access the most up-to-date data available.

 

SSO allows a teacher, administrator, family member, or child to log in to ClassLink (using username/password, QR code/badge, etc.) and then access Hatch applications, such as Ignite or Insights™, without needing to log in again. Not only is SSO incredibly secure and allows you to centrally control who has access to what, but it also removes the need to remember multiple different usernames and passwords. 

 

With the correct setup and permissions, Hatch is able to automatically pull the roster data that you share with us from ClassLink into the Hatch systems. When you install the Hatch apps in your ClassLink portal, you can also use SSO to keep your users from having to keep track of different applications' account information.

 

 

An IT or system administrator needs to be involved, who has access to ClassLink and who can add an application, share the appropriate data with Hatch applications, and verify and validate the setup and data flow.
