PowerSchool is a Student Information System used by schools across the country. It is capable of allowing parents access to student grades and attendance in real time. The purpose of the parent portal is to increase communication and collaboration among parents, students and teachers.

If you created an account in a previous year for a sibling that is still in the district, you will only need to sign in to your existing account and add your new student. (Refer below - Account Preferences - Click Students tab then add student. You will need your child's Access ID and Access Password to link the account.)
If you have never created an account, you need to create an account the first time you access the system. During the process you will create your personal username and password that will allow you to sign in to the system in the future. Please see below for instructions on how to create your PowerSchool Parent Access account.
