Below is a listing of CORE interconnected online applications designed to provide the Cambridge Public Schools community with access to student data and functionality to support and enhance the educational process. If staff have any questions on these tools please feel free to contact the
Information, Communication, and Technology Services (ICTS) department.
In addition to this list of CORE applications, there are many online resources that CPS utilizes to support teaching and learning in classrooms throughout the district. A list of these curricular tools, their purpose, grade level, and content area can be found
here.
Some of these systems use a CPS Common Login. This is the same login and password used when logging into a CPSD computer. Systems that use the CPS Common Login are designated by the lock icon.
