What is the new student information system for Orange County Schools?

8/7/19: Initial Connect Orange message: Orange County Public Schools is excited to announce that we have moved to a new student information system. For parents and guardians, this means that you will no longer use Progress Book and Parent Access to view your student’s information. Starting now, you will use the Skyward Family Access system.

What is inspire?

Inspire was founded as Orange County Cerebral Palsy Association, Inc. in 1950 primarily to provide rehabilitative and education services to children with cerebral palsy. Today, Inspire provides a wide array of outpatient, educational, and support service for individuals of all ages and abilities and for the general public.

What is the Orange school district doing to help students?

The Orange School District supports access by parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators to informational resources that will improve participation in a child's education and improve communication between students, parents/guardians and the student's teachers.

What can the Parent Portal do for me?

The Parent Portal allows parents to better monitor their child's progress in school by providing Internet access to grades, attendance, discipline, academic history, graduation verification, and standardized test results in a secure password-protected environment.
