If you work in Manatee County Schools, you’ve probably used (or struggled with) MySSO SDMC. This is the official single sign-on portal for the School District of Manatee County (SDMC). Whether you’re a teacher, administrator, paraprofessional, or support staff, MySSO SDMC gives you one-click access to all your essential district tools.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need: how to log in, fix common problems, what apps are available, and best practices for 2026.
What is MySSO SDMC?
MySSO SDMC (often searched as mysso manatee or sdmc sso) is the district’s secure Single Sign-On (SSO) system. It allows Manatee County School District employees to log in once and instantly access dozens of web applications — including Canvas, PowerSchool, ClassLink, i-Ready, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and more.
Instead of remembering 10+ different passwords, MySSO handles authentication through SDMC’s Active Directory, making your workday much smoother.
How to Log Into MySSO SDMC
Here’s the easiest and most reliable way:
- Go to → MySSO SDMC Login
- Enter your SDMC username (usually your first initial + last name + last 4 digits of your employee ID)
- Enter your SDMC password
- Click Sign In
You should land directly on the MySSO Launchpad, powered by ClassLink.
Pro Tip: Bookmark (mysso.sdmc.net). Many staff waste time searching for “mysso sdmc login” every morning.
Common MySSO SDMC Login Errors & Fixes
These are the top 4 issues users face in 2025:
- “Invalid Credentials” → Your password likely expired, or Caps Lock is on. SDMC passwords expire every 90 days.
- “Account Locked” → Too many failed attempts. Wait 30 minutes or contact the Help Desk at (941) 751-7645.
- ClassLink appears,s but apps are missing → You may need to be assigned the correct “Security Role” by your school’s tech contact.
- “Page cannot be displayed” → Clear browser cache or try Incognito mode (Chrome) or InPrivate (Edge).
What Can You Access Through MySSO Manatee?
Once logged in, you’ll see the familiar ClassLink grid. The most commonly used apps include:
- Canvas LMS
- PowerTeacher / PowerSchool
- Infinite Campus (for some schools)
- i-Ready
- Nearpod
- Destiny Library Manager
- Google Workspace for Education
- Microsoft 365 + Teams
- Frontline (formerly Aesop) Absence Management
- SafeSchools Training
- Skyward (for some departments)
All these apps use SDMC Single Sign On, so no extra logins are needed.
MySSO SDMC vs ClassLink – What’s the Difference?
This confuses many people:
- MySSO SDMC = The actual login page (
mysso.sdmc.net) - ClassLink = The launchpad/dashboard you see after logging in
They work together. MySSO authenticates you, then forwards you to ClassLink.
Forgot Your MySSO SDMC Password?
You have two official reset options:
- Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) – Go to
mysso.sdmc.net→ “Forgot Password.” - Call the Manatee Schools Technology Help Desk
You’ll need to have your security questions set up or a registered phone number for SMS verification.
Mobile Access Tips
While MySSO SDMC doesn’t have a dedicated app, you can:
- Use the ClassLink Mobile App (highly recommended)
- Add
mysso.sdmc.netto your home screen (works very well on iPhone and Android)
Security Best Practices (Important!)
- Never share your MySSO credentials
- Use a strong, unique password
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) if your school has rolled it out (currently being phased in)
- Always log out when using shared computers
Final Thoughts
MySSO SDMC is one of the most important tools for anyone working in Manatee County Public Schools. Once you get comfortable with it, it saves enormous time and frustration.
If you’re still having issues logging in, the fastest solution is usually calling your school’s on-site tech or the district help desk.
