The student portal, known as "The Launchpad" is accessible on student chromebooks as well as through the "students" button on gcpsk12.org. Students have access to their Google Workspace, Google Classroom, iReady, online textbooks, as well as many other resources through this portal. This is their landing or homepage. It is created in partnership with Classlink.

Google Classroom will be the primary e-learning platform for the 2026-2027 school year and beyond.
MyPaymentsPlus is linked directly to your school’s student information system (SIS), enabling you to see to real-time balances and invoices, and eliminating the need to call or visit your school in search of information. MyPaymentsPlus is used to add money to your child's lunch account, view cafeteria purchases and pay for school events and activities.

About Your Student's Device
Every student will get a Chromebook for school this year. If your child brings home a school-issued device, you’re responsible for making sure they use it safely and respectfully. This means following school rules and taking good care of the device. While you should always monitor your child’s internet use, we’ve added safety filters to all school Chromebooks. This helps keep students safe while online.
