Elementary Launchpad - The Destination for Information!

This is a guest post by Pam Meiser, Teacher Librarian at Barbara Rose Elementary School.



The Elementary Launchpad is the first stop for students to access databases, library resources, ebooks, audio books, creation tools, and links shared across the Barrington 220 School District. The Launchpad is accessible from each school’s website under the section labeled Students.

If your student doesn’t have a direct link to the Launchpad on their iPad, have your child save the link on their home screen by clicking on the share button in the upper right corner, then select Add to Home Screen in the bottom ribbon.



Databases automatically sign in when students and staff are at school. At home, users need to enter a username and password. Select the blue password rectangle at the top of the launchpad. Be sure to read the password hint to gain access to this handy page!

The password page provides descriptions of the resources, allowing you and your child to decide which will meet your needs. You can easily navigate to many of the resources directly from this password page.

The Launchpad provides an opportunity for discussion between you and your child. Explore the Launchpad together. Which links does your child use most often? In which class/subject are they used? Have your child demonstrate how to navigate within their favorite resources. Choose a new destination and see where you land!

If you need help or have questions, please reach out to your school’s Teacher Librarian or LTA. We’re happy to support you!

  1. A 3D laser scanner is a non-contact, non-destructive digital technology that captures the shape of a physical object by using a line of laser light. It creates a point cloud, or a set of data points in a coordinate system, that represents the exact size and shape of a three-dimensional object.
