PWCS: Information Portal Changing, What You Need to Know

• The following comes from Prince William County public schools. It is unedited. 

This summer and fall Prince William County Public Schools are implementing a new student information system which utilizes a parent communication tool called Parent Portal that will replace Edulink Intouch Online. The new Parent Portal will allow parents and students to view grades, attendance, and other student information and also edit student emergency contact information online. 

Because of the new system implementation, all parents will need to register for a new Web site login account this fall, which will also allow them to log into the new Parent Portal. Even if parents have registered in previous years on their school Web sites, they will have to reregister this fall. The link for “New User Registration” on school Web sites has been removed until the new system is available later in the summer. 

After parents have registered, they will be directed to their designated school to obtain their new user ID and password in person so this information can be validated. Parents will only need to go to one school to be validated even if they have children in more than one school. Please note the important implementation dates below:

• On June 30, the link for Edulink Intouch Online will be removed on school sites.

• After July 10, contents in “My Files” and “My Calendar” will be deleted. Before July 10 parents and students are advised to make back-up copies of their “My Files” since the files will be permanently deleted. Click here for instructions. The “My Calendar” contents cannot be saved or exported so they should be manually copied.

• After July 10, parents and students will not be able to view classroom Web pages until the end of the summer when the new classroom Web pages have been created.

Please visit our school Web site this summer for announcements about when parents can register for a new Web site and Parent Portal login.
