Welcome to the GCISD ClassLink Parent Portal. This portal will provide you a signal location to access GCISD-related resources. Many of the resources will allow you to store your credentials so that you can access them from a signal location without having to recall multiple login combinations.
Note: If you are a GCISD employee and your child's enrollment is ties to your district email, you will not be able to create an account. Many of the same resources that are available in the Parent Portal are also available from the ClassLink Staff App Library.
The directions below will help you Register your account and log in. You will need to know the parent email address that was tied to your child's Skyward profile. Only those emails will be allowed to register for access.
