PowerSchool Parent Portal

  Log On to the PowerSchool Parent Portal 

 

Welcome to the PPS PowerSchool Parent Portal Home Page!

This resource is a web-based communication tool that allows parents/guardians and students secure access to view grade, assignment,and attendance information. Assignments and student performance can be viewed as soon as entries are made by teachers into their electronic gradebooks. Reports and email notifications are also available in the viewer. Students will have separate accounts with unique login information. This service is available at our middle and high schools and grades three through six for elementary schools.

Although the PowerSchool Parent Portal is a very useful tool, it is not intended to replace direct communication between students, parents, and other staff members. The program is straight forward and very user-friendly – just point and click and you will have secure access to your student’s attendance, assignments, and grades. If questions arise, please check first with your child and/or their teacher, then, if unanswered, contact the guidance counselor, then the Principal.

Security and Accountability

Each parent/guardian will receive a separate Access ID and Password for each student. Once each parent/guardian enters the Access ID and Password, they will create their own account, specifying their email address and the password they want to use.  The Access ID and Password is randomly generated and must be picked up at your student's school. Students will be given their own Username and Password. The Access ID/Password and Username/Password are confidential and should not be shared with others. If you have more than one student, you will enter the Access ID and Password for each student in the account you created.  Note: Students cannot change their passwords.

The ability to access your student’s grade information and monitor their progress is a privilege for parents. The PPS PowerSchool Parent Portal site is governed by the Division’s Acceptable Use Agreement (AUP).In addition to this main agreement, there are also product-specific terms detailed on the Conditions of Use Pre-Login Entry Page. Any misuse or abuse of this account will result in denial of access.

If a student is new to the district or parents/guardians have never picked up an Access ID and Password, please contact the school.The Access ID and Password must be picked up from the student's school in person; they will not be given out over the phone.
