Technology Information For Students
Student Chromebooks
Most students have been checked out a chromebook for the year. Please encourage your students to charge them overnight as we expect the devices to be ready to use as an educational resource daily. If your student did not receive their device, they will receive one this week.
Directions to Change Passwords
Please have your student(s) reset their password before they come to school on Wednesday. This way they can view the most up to date schedule when they arrive at school. Please do not take screenshots or print as schedules are still being updated.
Go to the MY eCLASS website to update your password (Not the StudentVUE app)
Username: Student ID
Password: Your birthday - MMDDYYYY (June 9, 2018, would be 06092018)
Students Can Not Remember Their Password
Your student's teachers can reset a student password. The student should contact a teacher for assistance.
Students Is Locked Out Of Account
Students will be locked out for 15 minutes if they enter the wrong password more than five times. Once a student has been locked out of their account, they will need to contact one of their teachers to reset the password back to the student birthdate and unlock the student. Or students can attempt to login again after 15 minutes.

Educational Tips For Parents
Encourage your teen to be open to friendships
Being part of a group of friends at school gives students a sense of belonging as they try to figure out who they are. But that sense of belonging can shut others out. To help your teen avoid isolating others, be a good role model. Show that you are always open to new friendships. Send a note of welcome to a newcomer in town. If you reach out, your teen is more likely to do the same. https://tpitip.com/?33cc18608

ParentSquare
We are excited to announce that our school district has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with your child’s school and Gwinnett County Public Schools.
ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:
- Weather-related closings & delays
- School and class information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Upcoming class activities
Beginning July 18, 2023, district and school information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text via ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).
More information and directions for customizing your experience can be found on the GCPS website. If you received our notification about ParentSquare and you have questions about confirming your account access, please send an email to PSQHelp@gcpsk12.org.
