Pinnacle Information

How DO I get into Pinnacle?

Pinnacle Internet Viewer

This school year Broward County has gone to a system-wide grade management program called Pinnacle. One of the most important features of this system is the Parent Internet Viewer. The Viewer allows you to access your child's grades in each class via the internet. This is a wonderful tool to stay up to date on how your child is progressing in his/her classes. The Viewer even allows you to receive e-mail alerts when your child's grade drops below a specified average or when your child is absent from a class.

To log into Pinnacle you will need:

Your child's Student Identification Number
This county issued number appears on your child's schedule, interim report, and report card. If you are unsure of you child's student number, any of your child's teachers can give them this number.
A Pin Code
The pin code is the student's date of birth. This will be typed as the year, the month and the day.
For example, if your child's birthday is March 5, 1982, you would type 19820305. Do not use spaces, slashes, dashes or commas.
We encourage you to begin using this user-friendly tool to improve the communication between parent and teacher. Should you need access to a computer, you can always stop by the school and we will assist you.
