Parent Connect is the district's web portal into Q, the district's Student Information System. Parents log in to Parent Connect (www.opusd.org/q) with a seven-digit Parent Identification Number (PIN) and a password. Parents may recover their unknown/forgotten PIN and password via email when they click the appropriate link "Need Your Login Information?" Each parent/guardian has a unique PIN and password which is tied to their unique email address provided to the school and recorded in Q during enrollment. This means parents can't share the same email address and must have different email addresses recorded in Q. For more information, please see this Q Parent Connection login quick guide: https://bit.ly/opQlogin

Parent Square is the district's private communications platform. Parent Square relies on each parent having a separate cellphone number (which can receive text messages) which is then associated with their login email address. Because of this, parents can't share the same login credentials to access Parent Square. District and school communications are sent via email posts or visible on the Parent Square website or mobile phone app.

Student Connect is the district's student portal into the Q student information system. Students log in with their school Local ID number which is typically a seven digit number starting with "2" and their password is the same as their district email login password. Student Connect is used by students to check on their class schedule, grades, progress reports, etc.

Google Classroom is the district's learning management platform. Many teachers will distribute assignments and collect student work and responses through Google Classroom.

Google Meet is the district's distance learning and videoconferencing platform. Students interact with their teachers remotely by "joining" a "Google Meet" after signing in to a Meet app or Chrome browser with their district ID and password.

Clever is a Single Sign On web portal that many teachers use for quick access to the apps or online curriculum resources. Clever uses the student's District ID/login and password to grant students access to a wide variety of websites, learning apps, or web enabled curriculum. Clever can be reached via Clever.com, the Clever app, or via a Chromebook's default tab upon startup.
