PowerSchool Parent Portal

PowerSchool Parent Portal is now open. Your student received a letter on 8/31 in Advisory that includes detailed instructions to set up your personal PowerSchool parent account. This will allow you to check your child’s grades using any internet web browser or the PowerSchool app.  

To access this information you will need to set up your account on a computer (please note that initial setup cannot be completed on a mobile device) using the unique password and login information provided on the letter. Once you have created an account, you will be able to use the four character code at the bottom of your letter to connect to your child's account to the PowerSchool app.

If you did not receive a letter, please email your student's counselor. Our teachers and other staff are also new to this system and we appreciate your patience as we are learning together.
