Q: Do I have to go to my child’s school to get the information necessary to create a ParentVUE Account?

Yes. We want to make sure that your child’s information is secure, so this needs to be an in-person transaction.

Q: I never got around to activating my ParentVUE account last school year. Do I need a new activation code?

Yes, the codes had expiration dates, so you will need to visit the front office of your child’s school to obtain a new code.

Q: I used ParentVUE last year; do I need a new activation code for this school year?

No, returning ParentVUE users do not need a new activation code for the new school year. Your account stays active from year to year.

Q: Can I use the same login for all my children enrolled in Elk 魅影直播 Unified Schools?

Yes. Your ParentVUE login gives you access to information on all your children enrolled at Elk 魅影直播 Unified Schools.

Q: I have multiple children attending EGUSD schools, but I’m only seeing some of them in ParentVue, what should I do?

If you are not seeing one or more of your children when logged into ParentVUE, it can be an indication of a duplicate parent record for you in the system (your name could be spelled differently, etc.). Please contact your child’s school (the child you are unable to see in ParentVUE) to correct this issue.

Q: Can I login to ParentVUE with my email?

Your email will only work as the ParentVUE User ID if it was entered as the User ID at the time of ParentVUE registration.

Q: I clicked on “Forgot Password” in ParentVUE and never received an email response. What do I do?

First, check to be sure you are using the primary email account that you used when activating your ParentVUE account.
 
Second, in order to access your EGUSD ParentVUE account, you must go to the Elk 魅影直播 Unified School District ParentVUE portal:
 
It has come to our attention that several parents are doing Google searches for ParentVUE and clicking on the first results – which is most likely a link to another district’s ParentVUE portal. In this case, parents would not receive an email, due to not being registered users for that school district.
 
Please contact your child's school to reset password if issues persist. 

Q: What email address is the ParentVUE “Forgot Password” email sent from?

The email will come from noreply@egusd.net. Please make sure it has not been blocked or categorized as spam from your personal email provider.

Q: How come grades are entered every few days for one of my children, whereas for my other child, it’s less frequently?

Given the variety of classroom and instructional reasons, some grade books may be updated more frequently than others. For example, due to the complexity of the assignment and the time it takes to ensure that the scoring is careful and thorough, some assignments, such as research papers or special projects, may take longer to grade than others.

Q: I’m concerned about the fluctuation from day to day/week to week when it comes to my child’s overall grade. Why does it change so often?

Course grades may seem inaccurate or fluctuate from day to day/week to week for several reasons:
  • Early in the grading period, there may be fewer graded assignments, and so occasional high or low grades will have a greater influence on the cumulative grade/score.
  • Teachers may have weighted some assignments more than others – so certain assignments may count more heavily towards a cumulative grade.
  • Teachers may allow students to redo an assignment in certain circumstances. Assignment scores and cumulative grades may increase as a result. Or it might just be that updates, changes, or corrections are being made to the grade book.

Q: Can I check my child’s past report cards in ParentVUE?

You cannot view any report cards prior to the 2017-18 school year in ParentVUE. Please check with your child’s school to get a copy of his/her report cards prior to the 2017-18 school year. From 2017-18 on, ParentVUE will contain all report cards.
