Eduphoria Update: This past week the GCISD technology department along with Eduphoria did an upgrade and migration of the overall Eduphoria system. This brings GCISD to the latest level of support and the top level of performance that Eduphoria provides.
With that, the address to access Eduphoria updated slightly. The technology team has updated the links on the district website, as well as within Classlink; however, if anyone had created a desktop shortcut themselves this will need to be updated as well.
If you have issues getting into Eduphoria please use the link on the district website or https://eduphoria.gcisd.net/authdistrict/login.
