Welcome to the GCISD ClassLink Parent Portal. This portal will provide you with a signal location to access GCISD-related resources. Many resources will allow you to store your credentials to access them from a signal location without remembering multiple login combinations.
Note: If you are a GCISD employee and your child's enrollment is tied to your district email, you cannot create an account. Many resources 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.
You should use the Google Chrome browser to access Parent Portal. You must install the ClassLink Browser Extension to use the web apps that store login credentials (SSO Apps). These apps are designated with a small red "key" in the upper right . Many SSO apps will not work in other browsers. Below are the instructions for installing the Chrome Browser Extension.
