FAMILY PORTAL HAS ARRIVED!

Prince George’s County School’s has implemented a great way to keep track of your child’s information called the Family Portal which is a part of SchoolMax. You will be able to view your child’s attendance record, grades, assignments, discipline, and schedule. This can all be accessed from your home/office computer, 24/7. Rockledge will present and train parents during a Family Portal Training Night. This will take place on Wednesday, May 6th. We ask that parents of students in grades K-2 please attend from 7- 7:30 pm and parents of students in grades 3-5, attend from 7:30-8:00 pm. If you have children in both sessions, please just choose 1 session. Training will occur in the computer lab.  At these sessions, you will receive your family’s Access Key to gain entry into the Family Portal. If you are not able to pick up your Family Access Key, please stop by the Main Office at Rockledge during normal school hours.
