Creating a Backpack Account.pdf

Backpack for Parents

Parents are strongly encouraged to create a Backpack account for their children. Greenville County Schools uses Backpack to provide parents with the most recent news and information about our schools. The Backpack for Parents account also provides parents, guardians, or contacts with a central place to sign in to:

  • View their student's information including demographics, attendance, classes, grades, lunch balances, and test scores

  • Apply or register their student to Special Focus schools and programs (Fine Arts Center, Career Centers, etc.)

  • Receive alerts and notifications regarding their students

  • View their student's school and contact information

  • Manage parent and contact information for their students

Directions in English and in Spanish


Guardian Summaries for Parents

Google Classroom Guardian Summaries

As a guardian, you can get email summaries about your student’s activity in Classroom. Email summaries do not include grades. For grades, ask your student or contact the teacher.

In email summaries, you can review:

  • Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent.

  • Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).

  • Class activities—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.
