Is Your Parent Portal Account Activated? Stay engaged in your child’s education by setting up and signing into the Columbus City Schools Parent Portal. Through the Parent Portal, you’ll be able to securely access valuable information on your student(s): 

    Teacher Contact
    Grades and Course Schedules        
    Daily Attendance 
    Missed Assignments
    Paperless Applications for: School Choice, Summer School, and Career Tech
    Update Contact Information**
    Pay Fees

**The most updated contact information for your child is needed for the District and its schools to communicate with your family via phone, text, and email. It’s very important to update your child’s contact information every year, and now it’s much easier through the Parent Portal.

Need to update your contact information? It can all be updated online through the Annual Update in the Portal. This includes emergency contacts, phone numbers, and email addresses. Columbus City Schools communicates information about School Choice Lottery, Career Tech, Summer School, and other pertinent announcements via auto-dialers and email contacts. 

Do you have an address change? Parents and Guardians can now update their home address and make a request to change their students’ school of enrollment through the Annual Update.

Important Annual Forms are also completed online through the Annual Update in the Portal. This includes acknowledgements such as Emergency Contact Information, Consent for Release of Student Information, Internet Acceptable Use, FERPA Rights, and the Compact Form. 

Annual Updates will be processed promptly, and parents will receive a confirmation email when their update is completed.  

NEED HELP GETTING CONNECTED? Each parent/guardian has their own personalized Activation Code.
