NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN GENERAL SELFIE ID LINK https://high5.id/p/QWbqg

You may use your ID number or name when using the link above.

How to find your Student ID number

Grades 6-12

Students may follow the process to take their Selfie ID. If students are unable to get their picture completed by 7/24, GRADS Photography will be on site for registration day to take ID pictures as usual.

Grades K-5

Parents may follow the process to take their student’s Selfie ID. If they are unable to complete the process, GRADS Photography will be on site for Meet the Teacher Day to take pictures for the ID cards

Accessing the Student ID Number

There are two methods to access the student ID number.

Log in to the student portal or parent portal via ncsaz.myschoolapp.com or www.ncsaz.org.

After you log in to the parent portal, you will find your student profiles just under the NCS header.

The ID number is embedded within the web address of the student’s profile page. It is a 7-digit number that begins with 5.

Students in grades 10-12 have already logged in to their portal to complete their course requests. For other students, they can register with their student email address - lastname+first inital (or first two initials if they have a sibling with the same first initial) @ncsazstudents.org. (ex. testj@nsazstudents.org or testja@nsazstudents.org).

Parents can see their student’s email address by clicking on the student profile (the same method shown above).

If the student logs in to their profile, the ID is also located on the General Information section on the Profile screen.

• Click on the tiny triangle beside the student's name at the upper right of the screen

• Choose “Profile” from the drop-down menu

• General Information is located on the left side of the screen

• USER ID is the last option
