Creating a PowerSchool Parent Portal Account

Parents and students can use the parent portal to access student attendance, student schedules, class assignments and scores, report card/progress report grades, and email links to teachers. Parent portal accounts MUST be created on a computer instead of a mobile device. Once you’ve created your parent portal account, you can download the mobile app. The mobile app is designed for iPhones/iOS, tablets, and Google/Android devices. Please note you must have a Parent/Student Portal account to use the mobile app. Please also note that certain features available on the Parent/Student Portal website are not available on the mobile app.
