Powerschool parent portal Overview
All parents have access to Parent Portal to view your child’s attendance history, schedule, grades, manage notifications, and allow you to edit directory information such as email addresses. Rather than logging in as your child, it is important for each parent to create their own account. The first thing that you'll need is the Parent Portal letter for your child's school. Once you have that, you'll be able to create a Parent Portal account. The video below will show you how to navigate through Parent Portal.
Creating a Parent Portal Account
