The Goshen Central School District wants parents and guardians to feel in-control of their school app experience and children’s technology use outside of school hours. In order to do this, the district has launched Gladiator Gateway, a digital check point to access the numerous learning applications used in the district, and GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app that provides parents/guardians insight and control over their student’s online activity when using school-issued devices and accounts.
Gladiator Gateway
The purpose of Gladiator Gateway is to provide an organized and convenient online location for parents and guardians to easily access district apps and services – similar to student ClassLink.
“Our families regularly use numerous applications, including Parent Portal, Dismissal Manager, FamilyID, Class DoJo, and more,” said Superintendent Dr. Kurtis Kotes. “Gladiator Gateway will house these digital resources in one secure platform, helping keep our busy families organized.”
To create an account, district parents and guardians must visit https://parents.classlink.com/goshencsd and enter their email address or phone number that they have on file with the district (this is the contact information entered in SchoolTool that can be accessed by viewing your Parent Portal).
After you enter your contact information, you will receive a six-digit verification code that must be entered in order to create your account.
Detailed instructions will be emailed to parents/guardians and posted on the district website for your reference.

- Log into the SchoolTool Parent Portal with your e-mail address and password.
- If you don’t remember your login credentials, send an e-mail to parentportal.helpdesk@gcsny.org.
