Make Sure You Have a Parent Portal Account | School Messenger is Now Available
In order to update your parent contact information and other critical school information for next school year, you will need a parent portal account. If you have not requested a parent portal account, please do so by completing the Parent Portal form you can also pick one up at the local school. You will need to come to the local school with a valid picture ID to verify your identity and complete the process.
School Messenger is a rapid notification system used to contact families in Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS)via telephone messages, text messages, and email messages. The district will use the system to communicate information related to districtwide events, including key school dates and school closings due to inclement weather. Schools may use the system to communicate information related to school
events as well as automated attendance messages. Parents and guardians have the ability to customize messaging preferences. They can do this by accessing SchoolMessenger through the Parent Portal or using the SchoolMessenger web-
site or app. Learn more with these frequently asked questions.
On August 16th GCPS will be sending out a text Message to all accounts with a valid Mobile Phone number in the Parent Portal to see if you would like to "Opt In" to the text message portion of School Messenger. The phone number must be listed in the Mobile section for phone numbers. So, if you are using your mobile number as a home nu ber as well, please make sure to list it in the mobile section so that you can receive the Opt In Message on Aug. 16th.
Student Accounts | Technology
All student passwords used to access the GCPS network will be reset to the default (their student ID) on July 28, 2017. Starting August 1, students will be able to log in and set their password using the student portal or a networked computer.
Students should also go into their mobile devices, once their school year is over, and "Forget" the GCPS Mobile Network so there will not be a conflict when they return to school in August.
