Registration Information for the GCPS Parent Portal

Gwinnett County Public Schools' Parent Portal is designed to offer parents on-line access to a variety of information about their students. The portal will allow parents to view their childs' current attendance and grades as well as their test history and discipline records. The GCPS Parent Portal is an easy to use communication tool that will allow parents to take an even more active role in their child's education.

In order to gain access to the Parent Portal, you must complete the registration form and submit it in person to the school. Forms will be accepted in the Main Office during regular school hours, 7:00am to 3:00pm and in the Community School Office between 3:00pm and 7:00pm beginning November 2, 2009. A photo ID must be presented at the time of registration. Only parents and legal guardians of students will be permitted access to their students' information.

The Parent Portal will be available to Parkview parents beginning second semester.  The finalized date will be announced soon. Additional information and a registration form are available through the following links:

The Official SAT Online Course 

The state of Georgia has purchased the ability for ALL students in the state of Georgia to take the College Board’s online SAT Prep course for FREE!!!  Here’s the pertinent information and website.   

www.collegeboard.com/satonlinecourseschool   

In the “Students” box click “Register Now.”  The student will then need to enter a student access code which they can obtain from Ms. Wach’s office (Room 10.119). 

For the last three years, students in the 9th grade have had the opportunity to register during their guided study class.  Our current ninth graders are in the process of doing this now.  If you are a new Parkview student and have never had the opportunity to register, please see Mrs. Wach for an access code. 

This is a wonderful tool and opportunity.  I hope to see our students using this site to help enhance their SAT scores.
