How to log into the electronic diary?
- Your school must be a user of the program. An agreement is concluded between the school and the developers to connect and maintain the program.
- The school notifies parents which electronic diary it is connected to and gives parents the login and password for the child’s page. If there are several children, each will have a separate page, login and password.
- The passwords given to parents are temporary. Within 30 days they must change them to permanent ones.
- Logging into the electronic diary is simple - you need to enter a login and password, as in a social network or email.
Why can't you log into your diary - common mistakes?
- You are entering your username and password incorrectly. It is necessary to clarify with the teacher the input font - Cyrillic or Latin.
- Not registered.
- Numbers must be entered from the numeric keypad, do not confuse zero with the letter O.
- Do not take into account the case of letters - large and small letters are not only capital letters, but sometimes also appear in the text of the password.
- The temporary password has expired. You need to contact your teacher for help. After logging in using the password issued by the school, you need to replace it with your own.
- Forgot your password or login. You can restore them via email or phone number. As a last resort, contact your administrator.
The electronic diary is an easy-to-use program. It's easy to learn on your own. Entry errors are often mechanical and related to haste. Parents, as a rule, sit down for it in the evening, after work. If you can’t log in or figure it out, leave it for a while or try in the morning. And you will succeed.
Since the beginning of the school year, requests from parents have become more frequent, writing: “I can’t get into, I can’t or it’s impossible to get into the diary, the password is written incorrectly.”
There are a lot of such letters, so we tried to create detailed instructions on how to enter the electronic diary, as well as answer the most frequently asked questions from concerned parents. Also watch video instructions. Access to the EZhD must be made through the mos.ru website.
The problem of logging into the electronic diary is associated with the planned transition of all schools to an electronic system of interaction between parents, teachers and students.
The new electronic magazine project in Moscow in 2019 covered all metropolitan schools. From September 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018, almost all municipal schools in Moscow were transferred. Subsequently, it was decided to transfer all schools in the Russian Federation to the electronic railway system.
Electronic diary entry through state services mos.ru
The 2019 electronic diary differs significantly from previous types of similar documents. Now you will not be able to log into the electronic diary of the MRKO, as it was before. From September 2018, it will be possible to enter the EZD only through
To do this, you need to create an account and gain access to your personal account. The previous login and password that were given to parents at school will not work. What to do in this case?
- register on pgu.mos.ru;
- fill in all personal data;
- enter SNILS;
- valid email, mobile phone;
- information about the child.
If there is not enough information, the system will display the following message:
Enter all the information required to connect to the service. Then you need to wait until the technical problems on the site are resolved and you can enter the electronic diary without hindrance.
In the meantime, you can watch a video that will introduce you to the rules for logging into the electronic diary on the mos.ru portal:
Is registration required on the government services portal mos.ru?
The login and password that you enter to enter your personal account will also be valid for receiving all other services. Gradually, all government organizations plan to switch to this type of service. Therefore, you will still need to register in this system. You will need this method of communication not only to enter the electronic railway or the student’s electronic diary. You can:
- check grades through an electronic diary;
- find out the results of the Unified State Exam;
- make an electronic appointment with a doctor;
- obtain a foreign passport;
- pay for housing and communal services;
- register for a kindergarten;
- enter meter readings for water and electricity, and much more.
What should I do if I can’t log into the EZD or don’t remember the password?
I can’t get into the electronic diary, it says incorrect password, what should I do? This is the most common problem when logging into EZD.
If you forget the password for your personal account on pgu.mos.ru, you can get a new password without waiting for a meeting with the teacher, as was the case before. Just click the “Forgot Password” button, and the system will prompt you to provide an alternative email address or send an SMS to the mobile phone number specified here.
Why can’t I log into the electronic diary through government services 2019?
Even those parents who remember the password and have not lost their login, with the beginning of the new school year, cannot access the electronic diary through government services on mos.ru and on the website dnevnik.mos.ru. On the first website the following inscription appears:
- “Dear users, technical work is being carried out on the system servers. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience. Full functionality of the system will be restored in the near future.” This inscription hangs throughout almost the entire month of September. With the beginning of October, the situation has changed a little and now the inscription appears:
- “Dear class teachers! Pay attention to the new personal message from the Administration in your journal. We ask you to carefully read the authorization procedure for students and parents, and the algorithm of your actions if they have problems accessing the diary through mos.ru"
Logging into the electronic diary is not available not only to parents and teachers, but sometimes also to schoolchildren who cannot receive assignments on time or follow the lesson schedule.
Electronic diary pgu.mos.ru - difficulties for teachers
Those teachers who duplicate entries in an electronic diary or electronic journal with entries in ordinary paper diaries and journals turned out to be right.
Schoolchildren enter assignments in their own hand, make sure that the pages are filled out accurately, they can show the diary to their parents, and let the system get better for now.
Class teachers of almost all capital schools have been busy throughout the beginning of the school year sending parents instructions on how to log into the EZD - a new electronic diary that is starting to operate everywhere. Often these instructions turn out to be incorrect, as they are immediately replaced by others. Here you can find instructions for filling out EZD and working with them: https://help.dnevnik.ru/
Logging into the EJD electronic diary - problems for parents
Most parents experience irritation and panic due to the ill-conceived system and constantly changing requirements.
EZD electronic diary 2019 – reviews from parents
Here's what the mother of a seventh-grader at one of the Moscow schools says about the new electric railway:
- “Since the end of August they have been trying to explain to us how to use the new electronic diary. First they told me to look for old passwords that had many characters. They were given to us three years ago. We found it with difficulty, inserted it - nothing worked. We also cannot check whether this password is correct or not. We go to the website diary.mos.ru, it says that technical work is being carried out or that the site is unavailable for technical reasons. Yesterday we came in and there was an empty grid hanging there with the days of the week written on it and that’s it.”
And here is the opinion of the parents of a fifth-grader who just returned from a parent meeting, which was held due to a general misunderstanding of how to use the new electronic diary:
- “At the meeting we were told that the problems would gradually disappear, that we would still have to learn how to use this electronic system. But it is not clear why it is necessary to constantly change requirements and update an already complex system? And there was enough time to approve the new regulations, three months of vacation were behind us, what were the organizers of this project thinking? I still can’t log into my daughter’s electronic diary, but how can I check my lessons and grades? We have to do it the old fashioned way, call the teacher and ask classmates for assignments over the phone.”
EZD, electronic diary, electronic magazine - how it was
Electronic diaries in schools are no longer new; the first such diaries appeared back in 2014, when the head of the Moscow Department of Education I. Kalina said that the city had made its choice and it could not be changed.
“You and I work in state educational institutions. I ask you not to forget this. The city has made its choice. Anything you think should be usefully included in the selected journal, suggest it,” this is the speech the leader made.
The first electronic diaries on the Nachalka website
However, just 6 years ago, all primary school students in Moscow had to register on the Nachalka website, which was also not at all easy. Especially when you consider that parents of first-graders are inexperienced people who worry about every occasion. But it’s okay, we got used to it, by the end of the year almost everyone had already connected to this system, having figured out the logins and passwords.
“Electronic journal” on the website “eljur.ru”
But the next school year, “Nachalka” was closed, and all schoolchildren were connected to the “Electronic Journal” system on the website “eljur.ru”.
This magazine was recognized as the most convenient, because even the most “unadvanced” parents were able to connect to it by the New Year. Teachers could send messages and connect SMS.
MRKO electronic diary
Since 2014, Moscow schools have been forcibly transferred to the new MRKO electronic journal system. What does the Moscow Register of Educational Quality mean? Login to the state services portal pgu.mos.ru was required. Both parents and students had to register here.
Looking at homework and grades became even more inconvenient. Some schools were so outraged that they filed a petition with the Department of Education. This is essentially unheard of in the metropolitan area. The petition was sent as a protest against the forced connection of schools to the EZD system. It appeared on Change.org
Here's what the petition said:
- “We demand an end to administrative pressure on schools. Provide an opportunity for an educational institution to independently choose a system for maintaining an electronic journal and electronic diary. Many schools, under pressure from higher authorities, were forced to switch to using a unified MRKO system. In most cases, this system simply does not work: “Instead of preparing for lessons, teachers are forced to enter information at night into an inconvenient system that constantly disappears.”
- “Parents cannot maintain operational communication with the school and teachers through an electronic journal. And also use the usual services available in other systems. For example, notification of progress by email and SMS. Moreover, MRKO does not meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for electronic journals and diaries. And it does not allow you to fully receive the corresponding electronic service, since the electronic diary of the MRKO does not contain information about the topics of the lessons,” the petition read.
How did the debate about the transition to electric railways end?
All parents were again given passwords to log into the system. The classroom managers again began sending out instructions and meticulously explaining to the most ignorant how to use the government services portal.
But even the most competent parents who constantly use the Internet and work as IT specialists often cannot understand all the nuances of entering a login and password; they ask where to enter the numbers and how to use the electronic diary and journal. Over these three years, however, almost everyone has become accustomed to the fact that in order to learn homework, you can spend half an evening. That the ESD often freezes and disappears, information can either disappear or appear.
Teachers also complain that they now have to spend all their evenings filling out forms in the EZD, but you get used to everything, and you’re used to this too.
Now change is coming again. And I want the Department of Education to take into account the requests of parents. I also listened to teachers who want to stop at something and get used to a unified system. What was the problem, for example, with ordinary paper diaries, where children diligently wrote down assignments? And where every parent, without a password or login, could read the teacher’s comments, subscribe, and find out what was assigned for tomorrow. Moreover, it was absolutely free. Nerves, time and millions of rubles were not wasted on introducing more and more new projects. After all, now the entire first quarter of each school year is spent figuring out how to enter the electronic diary. How to easily find out basic information that was previously accessible and understandable to everyone.
The school diary connects the school management with the student’s parents - marks are made in it based on the results of knowledge surveys, tests, teachers write comments about behavior or poor preparation, and this technique always continued until an analogue of the paper version came into use - an electronic diary. What is this, how can a parent log into an electronic diary and check how things are going with their student child?
With the development of new Internet services, every parent registered on the State Services portal can promptly receive all information about studies and various comments, missed classes, made simultaneously in both paper and electronic diary form. That is, the student will no longer be able to hide from parents any information that the school wanted to bring to the attention of parents. And if previously a careless student could tear out a page or correct 2 by 3, then the new service for parents already eliminates this possibility.
Any parent who is interested in their child’s success at school will be able to obtain all the information they are interested in through the State Services Internet portal using the “electronic student diary” option. To do this, you must be registered to enter the portal in a section specially created for this. You can gain access absolutely free.
In order for each parent to have access only to their child’s page, a colossal amount of work was done - a list of students was compiled, correspondence by school institutions and classes was developed, and personal input data for parents was developed.
At this point in time, not all regions have prepared the system in order, so this service is not yet available everywhere.
Getting login information
One of the parents must contact the secretariat of the educational institution with a statement indicating:
- Information from the child's birth certificate.
- Personal details of the applicant.
- A request containing a request for access to the electronic diary of your child.
- Give agreement to the processing of data on the Internet.
The secretary will check the specified information with the available data and issue information and instructions for gaining access to the desired service on the State Services.
Please note that you can get access not on the national website gosuslugi.ru, but only on the regional one. For example, for Moscow this page is located in the “Study and Education” section, for the Moscow Region.
It should also be taken into account that not all regional educational institutions have switched to the new format for maintaining school records. Moscow is at the forefront here, and its experience will be transferred to other regions.
- To log in, you need authorization, and if you don’t have an account, you should create one.
- Contact the class teacher and request input data - each student has his own personal page, and you can only log in using this data.
Registration procedure on the portal
As an example, we will consider Moscow. Open the main page of State Services in Moscow, click on the banner - register:
- Enter your personal data, email address and mobile device number sequentially in the appropriate fields - confirmation codes will be sent to them.
- Click on the button - registration, and after checking the entered data, messages with confirmation codes will be sent to your email address and phone number - enter them in the appropriate fields;
- Create your login password and complete the process by clicking on the “Done” banner.
Now you will be able to log into various electronic services, including the “Education” section, where the necessary functionality is located.
Procedure for logging into the electronic diary

Not long ago, a system of electronic tracking of student progress was introduced in the Russian education sector, which has become widespread among parents and students. The PSU electronic journal and school diary, available on the State Services portal, allow you to timely find out students’ grades online and check student attendance. It is worth examining in more detail the features of using an electronic diary on the State Services website.

Parents have access to only their child’s diary, and can also sign it using an electronic signature.
What is an electronic journal on the State Services portal?
An electronic journal is created for each class separately, to which not only parents and students, but also all teachers, subject leaders, the class teacher and the director of the educational institution have access. In the electronic journal, teachers can do the following:
- give grades for lessons and comment on them;
- mark absenteeism by children;

This video clearly shows how to access a student’s electronic diary:
What additional services can be obtained on the school portal?
In addition to the services described above, the following opportunities can be obtained on the State Services portal:
- progress table. A table is created for each student, which is formed from the grades he received for the quarter. Absences and final grades for each period of study are also noted here. Recently, an additional function for calculating average scores was added, which allows high school students to focus on passing scores for universities. Here you can see which teacher gave a grade, as well as a remark or comment on the score. The function is available not only to teachers, but also to parents and students. It became possible to track progress throughout the entire quarter;

- call schedule;
- personal data of each registered user of the school portal;
- chat communication within the school.
Why did I receive a refusal to provide the service?
The reason for refusal to receive the electronic diary service may be an incorrectly completed application form. If you inaccurately indicated your first name, last name or patronymic, then you should fill out a new form again, because otherwise you will not be able to open the electronic diary on the State Services portal.
If a teacher comes to the department, he must provide the journal of the class to which he wants to access electronically. Only if this requirement is met will the teacher be able to open an electronic journal through State Services.
Benefits of using the school portal
The main advantages of the school portal on the State Services website are the following:
- functionality. The portal system can be completely customized from the start. Some tabs are easy to remove if you don't need them at the moment;
- full control over the child. Children do not always tell the truth about their grades and behavior at school, which can then result in unpredictable circumstances;
- the appearance of the program corresponds to the usual paper analogue of a school diary and magazine;
- high speed of response to requests when using the portal;
- constant updating of the database. Each teacher must record changes in the electronic journal immediately after class;
- The notification system for changes on the school portal is designed in such a way that there is no need to constantly check for updates. The electronic journal on the State Services portal allows you to instantly find out about the student’s progress.
