All student passwords are now reset for the new school year to the default password. The default password is the student number.

The student portal is now available. Students will need to do the following:

* "Forget" the GCPS wireless network on any BYOD device used during the previous year.
* Use their GCPS-issued student ID as their user ID and Password when logging onto a GCPS -networked computer or logging into the student portal for the first time.
* After successful log in, create their new password.

Please note: It is strongly recommended that students reset their passwords at home prior to school starting so they can be fully prepared to participate in all classroom activities, including assessments, when school begins. Attached are step-by-step directions for students to complete their password reset.


Parents should register for the PARENT PORTAL and stay informed about student attendance and academic performance in the classroom.

Access to the Parent Portal moves with students from school to school, therefore re-registration is not required once completed. This is true as long as a student remains enrolled in a GCPS school. Leaving and returning to GCPS requires a new registration.
Parent Portal registration must be done in person at the school the student attends. This requires a photo ID and the person registering must be a legal, designated parent/guardian of the student. The registration form is available to download and print.
