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.
