Help Your Child Access Their Google and Classlink Accounts From Home
The District has provided each student with a Google account that gives them access to the many tools available from Google in a closed environment that is safer for students than the public Internet. With this account, your student can participate in digital learning with their teacher and other Menifee USD students just as they do at school. Please note that you should always monitor your child's online activities, use web filtering tools on your home computer and ensure that your child gets plenty of rest, exercise and time outdoors in addition to their time at the computer.
Staying Safe Online
Consider these resources to help you determine how to assist your child to be successful in our digital world -
- Menifee USD Internet Safety Curriculum and Materials
- Internet Safety Tips for Parents
- OpenDNS web filter (search web filter for others but this one is free and works well)
- Google Safety Center
Use Google Chrome Browser
To provide your child with an online experience that is MOST like what they will experience at school, use the Google Chrome Browser on your home PC, Mac or other device and configure the browser with your child's G-Suite profile.
- Download and install the Google Chrome Browser to your PC, Mac or other device
- Open the newly installed Chrome Browser and sign in with your child's school G-Suite account. Choose "link data" when that option appears. See Google's instructions here.
- Anytime you open your browser it should now come up with your child's profile and will have all the settings and options available to your child at school.
- If the Chrome Browser was already installed on your device follow these directions to add your child's G-Suite profile to your Chrome Browser.
- Anytime you select your child's profile from among any others you've installed on your Chrome Browser you will see all the settings and options available to your child at school.

Your Child's Google Account Login Credentials
Parents may lookup their child's username and password in the Aeries Parent Portal. Go to Student Info > Demographics > Student Data 2.
All Menifee USD Google accounts use the following naming convention -
- Username = [firstname].[last init].[4 digits]@menifeeusd.org (e.g. jonny.s.1234@menifeeusd.org)
- Password = will be 8 characters for data privacy
Classlink
Menifee USD uses Classlink as a single sign-on solution for Study Sync, Wonders, SAVVAS, and other learning programs. Claslink will be the launch page for your child to access these learning tools.
We recommend using the Chrome profiles for each child, described above, to maintain ease of use with Classlink and our learning tools.
