Parent FOCUS Information

Welcome Scorpion Parents!

Setting Up Your Account

Before you begin, stop by/email your student's School Counselor to receive the Student PIN required to create your FOCUS account.

When you have received your PIN, access FOCUS by going to brevardschools.org, and using the FOCUS link at the top of the screen.

*If searching for FOCUS in Google, make sure you find a link starting with brevardk12.focus*

Under the login options there are links to create an account, add a student to an existing account, or recover your password.

After you create your account, by entering your email address and creating a password, you will be prompted to link a student to your profile. On this page you will enter your student's FOCUS PIN, their Brevard  Student Number (this is on your PIN letter), and the student's Date of Birth.

If you have multiple students in Brevard Schools you can add them at this time or a later date using the links under the login screen.
