Parents and Guardians are invited to join the Gordon County School District PARENT PORTAL program. This program is an integral part of our student information system, SchoolMax. By joining this program, you will have instant, online access to your child's attendance, tardies, and discipline. You will also have access to grading data for each class in which your child is enrolled, with assignments updated on a regular basis.

By implementing this new PARENT PORTAL program, we hope to provide you with access to timely information. This initiative has proven to be an efficient communication tool for parents and the Gordon County School District.

In order to participate, you must enroll in the program. Please review the information on this page. Please contact your local school to request information and a log-on account. If you have used iParent in the past, you will not need to register again. Accounts are set up to access all students in a family, not by individual students. You can use one account to access information for all students in a family. For more information, click a link below.
