School Technology
We are excited to announce that all Radloff Scholars will be issued a school chromebook. During Open House, families will sign an agreement on care for these precious instructional items. 6th grade students will have devices checked out to them on the first day of in-person learning, August 3, 2022. 7th and 8th grade students will have devices checked out to them on the first of in-person learning August 4, 2022. Please note if your student was previously issued a device, and it was not returned, they will not receive another device until the misplaced device is returned and/or compensation is retained for the previously lost item. Students are expected to use loaned devices for school use only and in accordance with GCPS Acceptable Use Policy guidelines.
Personal Technology
Because all students will be issued school technology, no personal electronics are needed on campus. Please have students keep all electronic devices and phones at home as they often serve as unnecessary distractions. If a student brings a personal electronic device to school, including cell phones, it will be placed and locked in a secure place.
Open House
We want you and your child to connect with your child’s teachers as we begin the school year. We invite you to join us for Open House on Friday, July 29 to gather all of the information needed for a seamless return to school.

Student Password Information
Gwinnett County Public Schools recently shared information regarding the password your student will use to obtain initial access to the student portal and instructional resources at the beginning of the 2021-22 school year.
On July 25, 2022, your student’s password will be reset to reflect his or her birthday.
To access the student portal, your student will be required to type his or her 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 your student’s birth occurred on June 9, 2015, their reset password would be 06092015.
Students in Grades 6-12 will be required to change their password immediately after the first successful login to the student portal. GCPS is strongly recommending that students generate a passphrase as their password. A passphrase is a sentence-like string of words that is longer than a traditional password, easy to remember, and difficult to guess. Students, families, and staff members can learn more about creating a passphrase by visiting our website at www.gcpsk12.org/cybersecure.
The privacy and security of the information belonging to our students, families, and employees is a strategic priority and we appreciate your support in the district’s efforts.
Please email any concerns you may have about the password reset process to data.privacy@gcpsk12.org.
