The BPSD aims to provide a more user-friendly experience for those in the community with the transition from the Student Information Software eSchool Home Access Center to Focus.

This transition follows a thorough process involving four Student Information System vendors.

Focus was chosen for its ability to adapt to the district’s unique needs and processes.

The district was looking to prioritize a platform that would improve usability and communication amongst staff, students, and families.

Below is a guide on how to install and use the Focus Parent Portal app:

Step 1: Download the App

• Search for the BPSD Focus Community App
• The app is available on the Android and Apple stores

Step 2: Open and Log In to the App

• Parents will log in using the credentials set up previously for the portal
• This will take you to your child’s schedules
• Students will click “Sign in through Google,” followed by their full email address and password
• Upon login, you will see your child’s schedules and information

Step 3: Navigating the App

• Parent View: Similar to the student view, but with added access to all students linked to your account.
• Student View: Only displays your personal information and schedule.

Following these steps ensures a smooth installation and app experience for families in the district.

For any issues or further assistance, please contact the school’s building or support team.
