 Table of Contents - FirstClass Video Tutorials
Please Note: Some of features shown in these videos pertain only to the FirstClass Client Version 11. LPSD computers are currently running the FirstClass Client Version 9. The new client will be available on division computers in the fall as we proceed with our new computer roll out.
Also: Any reference to Social Workplaces, Communities or WebDav does not pertain to LPSD as we do not have these features installed.
You can download the latest FirstClass Client and install it on your home computer or mobile device.
Please note that the LPSD Tech department does not provide support for home computers or personal devices.
Computer Client Downloads
Note: After you install the client and run it the first time, it may appear not to open but will be minimized to the lower right task bar. You can click on the icon to launch it from there. This will only happen once after the initial install.
