For the 2020-2021 school year two additional resources were added to Launchpad; Public Portal and the Parent Portal. Information about each is highlighted below.

Parent Portal

The LaunchPad Parent Portal site will provide automated access to different OCPS systems that parents and guardians will utilize such as Canvas and Skyward Parent Access. The registration process for LaunchPad uses the mobile phone number or email address that is on file with the school in our student information system. To register for an account, parents and guardians will go to http://parents.classlink.com/ocps

Once registered, parents and guardians will visit http://launchpad.ocps.net to login and access their account.  When information is added or updated in Skyward, it will take 24-48 hours to active parent registration in the Parent Portal.

Public Portal
