CSD strongly recommends a home broadband internet connection to access online learning resources. Although we have hotspots available upon request, a broadband connection offers a far more reliable experience to support online learning.

If the cost of broadband is a challenge, families have several options for discounted service.

• Access from AT&T
• Comcast Internet Essentials
• Verizon Forward
• The federal government offers the Lifeline program to support connectivity for eligible families.

Families can request a temporary hotspot from their school media center, or check one out from the DeKalb County Public Library. However, please note that hotspots are often not a reliable way to connect to the internet, especially in homes where there are other competing wireless signals.

Parents and students can access the Infinite Campus portal through a computer web browser or mobile app; links to both are below. Additional assistance, including information for setting up or recovering a parent portal account, is available at https://www.csdecatur.net/portal.

All CSD students have a Google Workspace account to access Chromebooks, CSD LaunchPad, and the Student Portal. Email is active only for students in grades 3 and above. Students in grades 3-5 can send/receive emails only with other CSD users.

Students who need login or password assistance can speak with their teacher or their media specialist.

• Account name
  • Each student's account name is the last two digits of their student ID number (aka lunch number) plus (up to) the first four letters each of their first and last names.
  • For example, if Chinua Achebe were a student with ID number 098765, his account name would be 65chinache@csdecatur.net
  • Students/parents can find a student's ID number by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
• Password
  • You can contact the school's media center or front office if your student needs help accessing their CSD Google Workspace account. To better protect security, we do not post default password information online.
  • Students can change their password at any time here.

With the username and password, students can go to any Google Workspace login page and log in with these credentials.

Essential online resources for students and staff can be found via CSD LaunchPad. Students and staff log into LaunchPad with their CSD Google Workspace account.

Students can request technology support from their teacher or the media center.

Staff can submit a support request via IncidentIQ.
