How do I sign up for the Parent Portal?

If you have an account, please set up your username and password. The links below will help you. If you need assistance, please contact the school administrator to reset.

If you do not have an account, click the "User Guidelines & System Requirements" link below to print and complete an application and then send in to the schools administrator. Once the application is approved, you will receive a key (access code) which will help you set up a username and password.

You will then need to go to this link to sign in:

https://campus.catoosa.k12.ga.us/campus/portal/catoosa.jsp

The Campus Parent Portal is designed specifically for parents and is optimized for use on mobile devices and tablets.

In the Campus Parent Portal, navigate between tools in the menu on the left. On mobile devices, this menu shrinks to a "hamburger" or "three bars" icon to save space.

Click the user icon in the top right to view Notification Settings.

• The Account Security Email is the email used if a user forgets their username or password.
• Passwords can only be modified if the district has enabled Password Reset. Strong passwords are enforced, meaning that passwords should have a mix of letters, number, and characters to make them more secure.
• E-Signature PINs are used to electronically verify and sign Meal Benefit Applications. This field is only available if enabled by the district.

Notification settings allow users to opt out of receiving specific kinds of notifications and establish thresholds for those they want to receive. Set thresholds to only receive notifications when a grade or score falls below the selected percentage or a lunch balance falls below the selected dollar amount. Click the arrows to change the threshold or click and drag the dot.

Notifications are not sent for any tools that have been disabled by the district. Only districts using Campus Food Service receive low balance notifications.
