2. WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE PARENT PORTAL? ( back to top )
Every parent/guardian of a child currently enrolled in a Douglas County school. Students also have access to certain portions of their own records (applicable mostly to Middle/High School students).

HOW CAN I GET ACCESS?
An account must be set on the Parent Portal. After registering your child, an email with instructions and an "activation key" will be sent to the address you provided to the registrar. If you have not received this email, lost it, or require and activation key for another guardian, please contact Anna Hylton (include your child's name, and the name of the guardian requiring access).
Please use these instructions and your activation key to create an account.

You shouldn't, because:
- You won't see email and phone messages that were sent to you regarding your student's attendance, missing assignments, etc. in the Student Portal.
- The username and password for the Student Portal is also used for your student's network folder (school work). If you accidentally change this login your child won't be able to access school work stored.

Weekly correspondence will continue to be sent out via email - text messaging will be reserved for emergencies and time-sensitive situations.

NOTICE OF DESTRUCTION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION RECORDS

Special Education records which have been collected by Douglas County School District related to the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of special education in the district, must be maintained under state and federal laws for the period of five (5) years after special education services have ended for the student. Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district. This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of Douglas County School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students who exited special education services as of June 30, 2016. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
