Will I have access to my student's Google account?
Parents/guardians are encouraged to communicate directly with their student(s) to acquire G Suite account login information. Each student has the ability to manage his/her G Suite account password.
If a student is unable or unwilling to provide a password to parents/guardians, parents are encouraged to contact the District to have the password reassigned to allow the parent/guardian full access to the account.
The G Suite accounts are property of the Portland Public School District. This means that content in these accounts may be accessed or searched by designated PPS employees (Tech Services staff, Administrators, etc.) in accordance with Board Procedure IJNDB-R.
As the provider of these services, the Portland School District has included several safety and educational features in G Suite:
- Parents, guardians, and administrators may request access to student's G Suite account from the District.
- Filters to block SPAM, viruses and inappropriate content while surfing.
- Filters for all student email accounts with initial electronic filtering and human monitoring of content with a service from Securly.
