Did You Forget Your Login ID?
Email the Help Desk: parent portal
(7:30am - 4 pm Monday through Friday)
 
OR: You may log in with your Facebook or Google account, as long as the email address associated with your account is the same as the email used for your WCSD Parent Portal account.

Wappingers CSD uses Blackboard Connect to communicate regarding attendance, delays and closings, upcoming events, and building- or district-wide emergencies. You receive your parent ID and password via email when you register your child in our District, and you may customize your notifications and add more contact details at any time.

You will automatically receive notifications based on the contact information you provided when you registered your child.  By default, the parent/guardian listed as the primary on your child's student record will receive text notifications as long as you provide a cell phone number.  

To access Blackboard Connect, click Finalsite

Enter the Parent ID and temporary password (provided by the District in a separate email). The first time you log in, the system will prompt you to change your password. Passwords must be a minimum of six characters.
