HELPFUL TIPS:

• If your current Rosebud 5th Grader is planning to attend Grace Snell Middle School, you will not need to register that student for GSMS. Those records are moved digitally and physically by GCPS staff.
• If your student currently attends Rosebud and plans to continue next year, you do not need to register the student for the next year.
• If you plan to move to another GCPS location over the Summer Break, please contact both schools to make arrangements. 
• If you aren't sure if you have a current Parent Portal account, but you have an email address associated with your GCPS information, please submit that email address at the Forget your password? link on the Parent Portal. If you no longer have access to that email address but you know what it is, please contact the school to learn about updating it.
