Unscheduled Digital Learning Days

Any school closure will be communicated using ParentSquare, social media, the GCPS website, and local news outlets. For more information regarding inclement weather procedures, please visit the GCPS website.

Our teachers will post assignments on their eCLASS pages.  If you have a question about any assignments, please contact your child's teacher by sending them an email or ParentSquare message.

Students will use the My eCLASS Student Portal to log into their eCLASS pages to locate their assignments for the day.  Depending on the grade level, some students may navigate to their teacher's Google Classroom as well. 

Log in Information:

User ID = student ID number
Password = student's birthdate (mmddyyyy)

For example, if you were born on March 22, 2016, your password would be 03222016.

Those using a Personal Chromebook for Digital Learning Days should add their GCPS G-Suite account as a "New User".  Should you be logged into your Chromebook with a personal Gmail account you may not be able to access all of the needed resources to complete your Digital Learning activities.

Most native components in eCLASS are compatible with Anroid Tablets, i-Pads or mobile devices and should function properly. 

Any resource you are directed to outside of eCLASS that contains Adobe Flash will not function on an i-Pad or Android tablet.

G-Suite (Google Apps):

If you choose to use G-Suite (Google) apps (such as Drive, Docs, Slides, Classroom, etc.) on an Anroid Tablet, i-Pad or other mobile device you will need to download those apps from the Google Play or the Apple App Store.
