SAPPHIRE COMMUNITY PORTAL
GETTING A SAPPHIRE COMMUNITY PORTAL ACCOUNT
Parents and students who do not have an account can obtain an account by clicking on the Sapphire Community Portal link. After you get to the Welcome Page of the Sapphire Community Portal (SCP), click on “Create a Web Portal Account” link and complete the form. The KEYWORD is udatrojans. After you complete the application, it will be submitted to the UDASD for approval. You will receive an email once the application is approved. Once the confirmation email is received, you can log in to the SCP. For full instructions on the Sapphire Community Portal, see the SCP Account Letter.
Please note that the Online Registration Account is NOT the same as the Sapphire Community Portal Account. Even if you registered your child online, you need to request a separate Sapphire Community Portal Account to access forms, grades, and other information related to your child.
ABSENCE AND EARLY DISMISSAL EXCUSES
The UDASD is also asking parents to submit their excuses through the Community Web Portal. Please read this Sapphire Community Portal Excuses Notification about submitting excuses online.
