The ParentVUE login guide says the username is the email address on record with the school. If a parent has not logged in or forgot a password, the parent can use the forgot-password option. If login still fails, GCPS says to contact the local school for assistance.

Use the official Open GCPS School Locator to check school assignment by address. The locator asks for street number, street name, city, and ZIP code.
The School Locator page says efforts are made to ensure the information is accurate and up-to-date. It also says that if there is any discrepancy in transportation arrangements, the Transportation Department has the final word. For mapping or attendance boundary questions, the locator directs users to the Planning Department at 678-301-7085.
Do not assume a school based on city name, ZIP code, subdivision, real estate listing, or nearest campus. Gwinnett County has many municipalities, clusters, special entities, boundary conditions, and attendance-zone rules.
🧭 Address-based lookup
Use the school locator for official address-based school assignment help.
📍 Boundary questions

The transportation section includes regular education transportation contacts, special needs transportation contacts, school bus safety information, useful information, fleet maintenance, and bus driver/monitor application links.
GCPS lists 770-338-4800 as Regular Education Transportation Customer Service and 770-513-6881 as Special Needs Transportation Customer Service. If a student will not ride a Special Needs bus on a given day, GCPS lists the Special Needs Dispatch Department at 770-513-6686, prompt #1.

School meals, Nutrislice menus, MyPaymentsPlus and meal prices
Use Open School Nutrition Program for official meal information. GCPS says the School Nutrition Program contributes to a successful academic experience and encourages a lifetime of healthy eating by providing nutritious, appealing meals.
GCPS says families can view menus through Nutrislice online or through the Nutrislice app. The 2025-26 school nutrition update says 135 school cafeterias offer breakfast and lunch daily. It also says Title I school students eat breakfast at no charge, while non-Title I full-pay breakfast is listed at $1.75.
The Free and Reduced Meal Application page lists breakfast at $1.75, elementary lunch at $2.50, middle and high school lunch at $2.75, reduced breakfast at $0.30, and reduced lunch at $0.40. Meal prices and eligibility can change, so check the current nutrition page before budgeting or publishing amounts.

Student records, transcript requests, open records and legal requests
Use Open Student Records and Transcripts for official records help. GCPS says records requests for grades K-8 are submitted online, and high school students in grades 9-12 may also request transcripts online.
The Records Management page says the department oversees student records processes and links users to student records/transcript requests, legal requests, and open records requests. The Open Records Requests page says student records or transcript copies should use the Student Records and Transcript Requests page, not the open-records process.
Some transcript and student record requests may involve fees, identity verification, parent or guardian signatures, or school-level routing. Use official GCPS pages only. Do not submit student IDs, birth dates, transcripts, health documents, custody papers, or payment information through random transcript websites.

📄 Student records
K-8 records requests and high school transcript requests can be handled online through GCPS guidance.

Protect private student data and use only official GCPS request pages.
Gwinnett County schools, clusters, directory and school-level pages
Use Open Schools Directory for official school listings. GCPS says the district serves more than 178,000 students in 142 schools, including 81 elementary schools, 29 middle schools, 24 high schools, 7 specialty schools, and 1 charter school.
The school directory lets users filter by school level and search by keywords such as level, city, and cluster. It also reminds users that Board district representation is determined by residential address rather than the designated school attended by a student.
