Parents may create an account on the PowerSchool Parent/Student Portal in order to view their student’s grades, attendance information, lunch balances/fees, and more. From this account they may be able to view multiple children, as well as set when and how often they would like to receive updates – including receiving the daily bulletin.
*Please note, the School’s Administration and/or data team determines access types and permissions. Follow their guidelines and instructions closely for best results.
Access types include:
- Student Accounts: one username/password that may be utilized by both parents and students. (Typically used for younger students) . There is no need to create a separate account for this access type.
- Parent Accounts: parents create accounts using a unique username and password tied to their personal email accounts. Parents may link multiple students to one username and password.

In order for a parent to create a new account they will need to have their student’s access username and password (sometimes called Access Key or Access ID).
