SAPPHIRE PARENT/GUARDIAN PORTAL ENROLLMENT INSTRUCTIONS
North East School District utilizes the Sapphire K-12 student information system to communicate with parents and guardians, providing online access to basic school account and grade information for your child.  This is also the system that the district uses for mass phone and text alerts regarding weather delays and school cancellations. All parents/guardians are encouraged to enroll for access to this system.

Enrollment for the new Sapphire Community Portal is a two-step process:

  1. Please visit the school district’s website at www.nesd1.org and click on the Sapphire Portal icon located near the top of the home page. You will be asked to complete a portal application and agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. When prompted you will need to enter the district’s KEYWORD which is “pickers” (all lower case). The school will receive an automatic notice that you have completed this step. You may then expect to receive an email within a few days once your account has been approved in the system.  Once you receive this email, you can use the User Name and Password you created earlier to access the Sapphire Community Portal system.
  2. Using your new User Name and Password, please log in to the portal to review the information on file for your student(s) regarding home address, phone numbers and emergency contacts, and update this information if necessary. The district will automatically receive a notice if any information that is updated so that we can respond accordingly.


Please note that parents/guardians may only access this system by submitting the online application and agreeing to the Acceptable Use Policy. Should you need assistance with the enrollment process, or if you would like to use a district computer to access your student’s information, please contact your student’s school office and we will be very happy to help you with this. Thank you so much!
