Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) is launching a new online gradebook program this school year for parents, students and teachers to track academic progress, attendance, class and locker assignments, testing data, homework and more. The system is called YouVue and replaces the Edline gradebook as well as an aging student information system used by CCPS for nearly 40 years. YouVue includes parent access, called ParentVUE, student access, or StudentVUE, and teacher access, called TeacherVUE.

CCPS is printing account activation letters for each parent/guardian on file for all students. Parents must pick up their account activation letter from their child’s school and provide photo identification. Parents with two or more children attending CCPS schools only need to pick up one activation letter.

Most schools are holding orientation events next week. Parents can pick up their account activation letters at orientations. A list of orientation dates and times, separated by school, is posted at http://www.ccboe.com/pr/schools-plan-orientation-events-for-parents-students-2/.

Parents can also pick up activation letters at scheduled open house nights planned for the end of September and October. A list of dates and times is posted at http://www.ccboe.com/pr/open-houses-planned-for-schools-centers-2/.
In addition to orientation and open house events, some schools have set additional dates and times for parents to come and pick up their account activation letters.
