Get Involved in Your Child's Education Through Parent Portal

Parents of Gwinnett County Public School students now have easy, secure access to information regarding their child’s education. The GCPS’ Parent Portal offers parents an inside look at their student’s grades, attendance records, results of standardized tests, and more. In addition to academic success, parents may also look at their child’s school discipline records. This Parent Portal is available to all parents with Internet access, a user ID and password.

How do you register to use the Parent Portal? Parents of GCPS students need to complete a registration form at their child’s current school. This form must be completed in person at the school in order assure confidentiality. A few days after submitting the registration form you will receive additional information on completing the registration process via the Internet.

The Parent Portal is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at no charge to Gwinnett parents. Up-to-date grades are available for students in grades 2-12 and should be updated daily by your child’s teacher. Grades for specials and non-core classes may be updated less regularly or at the end of the grading period.

If you previously have registered to use the Gwinnett Parent Portal re-registration is not required if your child has changed schools as long as you are still at a school within the system.
