SSO (Single Sign On/Orion)

The following are directions to assist CMCSS employees in accessing their Single Sign On (SSO) account.

Every CMCSS teacher is set up with an SSO account at the beginning of each school year and receives an email with directions to access the Orion site. If a teacher did not follow these directions and access his or her account it is most often closed.
