SchoolTool

SSCSD uses SchoolTool as it’s student management system for parents and guardians to access their child(ren)’s grades, attendance, schedule, and other data. Once you have a parent portal account, it is active for the duration your child(ren) attends Saratoga Springs City School District. Please be advised we only issue parent portals to parents and legal guardians (with court papers).

If you have not received an email containing a username and password for the Parent Portal you may request a Parent Portal account by choosing the appropriate link above. If you have children in both buildings, you only need to place a request from one building. Once we have verified the accuracy of the information, you will receive an email with your SchoolTool account username and password.

Closings and Delays

As the snowy months approach, SSCSD would like to remind you how you will receive notice if school will be operating under a delay or will be closed due to inclement weather.

All cancellations, delays or early dismissals are posted on the school district’s website, right on the homepage of the website. The decision to close or delay the starting time of school will be made as early as possible. School closings are also announced through the media via the School Closing Network (which includes many local TV & radio stations as well as newspaper websites.)

Closing information will also be sent directly to a parents/guardian’s email account and cell phone via text message through Parent Square.
