Sign into Google with your SCUSD Account

To access your SCUSD Google resources, such as Google Drive and Google Docs, as well as other resources connected via Single Sign-On (SSO) like Infinite Campus and the Frontline Absentee System, you must ensure that you are logged into your district Google Profile.


Google Services used in the District

  • Google Chrome - In addition to enabling Single Sign-On, signing into Chrome allows access to Bookmarks, Search History, and Tabs & Tab Groups across multiple devices.
  • Google Drive 
  • Google Docs - Includes Sheets, Slides, and Forms
  • Google Meet - Free Tier
  • Google Translate
  • We do not use GMail, and you will encounter an error message saying your account does not exist if you attempt to log in.  To access your email, go to https://www.outlook.com

  

Steps to Log into Your District Google Profile

  1. Open Google Chrome on your device.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the Chrome browser, click on your profile icon (or "Guest" if no profile is signed in).
  3. Select "Add or Switch Person" from the dropdown.
  4. Click "Add"to create a new profile if your district profile has not yet been added.
    • Enter your district-provided email address and password.
    • Follow any additional steps to complete the sign-in process, including multi-factor authentication if enabled.
  5. Once signed in, your district account will be connected to this profile, and you can use it to access your Google resources.


Accessing Single Sign-On (SSO) Resources

Applications such as Infinite Campus and Frontline's Attendance and Assignment Portal are integrated with the district’s Single Sign-On (SSO) system. Once signed into your district Google profile, these applications will automatically authenticate you when you navigate to their websites or applications.


Note:

  • Always use your district profile when accessing district Google resources. If you encounter a "403 Error", you need to switch to the SCUSD Google Profile.
