Student Password Reset for the Start of 21-22 School Year

GCPS sent an email explaining to families how students should log in to eCLASS for the first time. This is especially important for students in grades 2-5 who will log in for digital learning on Wednesday August 4th. 

On July 23, 2021, student passwords will be reset to reflect their birthdays. To access the student portal, students will be required to type their numeric birthday in the password field using two digits for their birth month, two digits for their birthday, and four digits for their birth year. For example, if a student’s birth occurred on June 9, 2015, their reset password would be 06092015.
