Google Accounts (Students)

Step 1: Finding your Google account Username

Each SLCS student is issued a Google account that is managed by the SLCS technology staff and filtered and monitored by our GoGuardian security system. The format of the account will be:

[first initial]+[last initial]+[5-digit Student ID]@stlaurenceschool.org

 i.e. John Smith (ID: 95354) --> js95354@stlaurenceschool.org - Note: The password for each account is the same as last year. If you are new or don't know the password, please email techhelp@stlaurence.org and provide your child's username account or name.

Locate student 5-digit Student ID in FACTS

• Parents log in to FACTS/Renweb (District Code: SLA-TX)

• Click the Family Section on the left side of the screen

• From the Drop Down at the top, choose the Student whose ID number you are looking for.

• Under Contact Information, you will see the 5 digit number next to ID Number (System). Do not use any ID number that may be listed next to School:

• Please write down the new username and memorize it. This username will be used to log in to different school-provided services and resources.

Step 2: Download the Google Chrome Browser

The school relies on using Google Chrome as the preferred browser. If you haven't already, please download the Chrome browser for your Windows or Mac computer. This is the only web browser we support. 

Highly recommended: Please make Google Chrome the Default Browser on your Windows or Mac computer. You should also change your password from time to time or when given a temporary password.

Step 3: Adding Student Google account to the Chrome browser.

If you are using a Windows or Mac computer, you will need to add the student account to your Chrome browser on your computer. This will make switching Google accounts much easier. For more detailed information, check out our video tutorial.

This is a very important step because we push out Google Chrome extensions to the browser so that services will be available and work correctly.

Step 4: Log in to Classlink

Classlink is the portal to school online resources. Please go to Classlink, click the Login with Google button. If you did the previous steps, it should automatically log the student in with the Google account credentials you set up with adding the student account to the Chrome browser (step 3).
