Q: How do I log into PowerSchool? How can I find my account information?
A: Contact your school or district for access information and instructions. You can visit your school or district website, or speak with your school or district administrators. PowerSchool logins are granted by schools and districts. Each school will verify your identity before giving you an account to help protect student data and privacy. From there, you can log in to your school or district’s respective portal.
You will need to get the following information from your school or district:
- Link to Parent or Student Portal
- Access ID for the student(s)
To log in for the first time:
- Access the Parent or Student Portal. Each school or district has a unique link for parents and students to access their portals. You can receive this link from your school or district administrators. Links are specific to each school or district, and PowerSchool as a company does not publish a list of all the web addresses for all of our clients.
- Create an Account. Once in the Parent or Student Portal, you will need to create an account. Be sure to store your username and password in a secure manner.
- Add your students. Use the Access ID for each of your students to link them to your account.
Once you have created an account:
- Visit the Parent or Student Portal
- Enter your username and password
Note: Registration must be done via the school/district web portal.

Q: What is the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
A: The parent portal is an online portal accessible anywhere on the web that parents can log in to and see all of their children in one place, their grades, assignments, scores, attendance, schedules, and school bulletins for each school your children attend. If you have one student in middle school and one in high school, parents will see bulletins for both the middle school and high school.

Q: How do I reset my password?
A: Students should contact their school to reset their password. Parents can reset their password through the website as long as the district has enabled this feature. If you encounter any difficulties with the following instructions, please reach out to your school or district for further assistance.
To reset passwords from your school’s web portal:
- Click the link Forgot Username or Password
- Enter the username and email address for your account, then click Enter
- You should receive the email as an email from your school. If you aren’t seeing the email, check your Junk or Spam folder
- Click on the password reset link in the email you receive.
- Enter a new password
- Log in to the website to verify the password has been successfully reset and is working
- Log in to the app

Q: How can I add a second student to my parent account?
A: If you have more than one student attending the same school, or if you were advised to use the same District Code or web address, you can add these students to your account through the web portal.
To add a student via the web portal:
- After signing in to the web portal, click Account Preferences on the left menu
- Under Account Preferences, click on the Students tab
- Now click on the Add + button and follow the necessary steps
If your students are accessed through different District Codes or websites, you will need to sign out and then back in to view each student, as the District Code is a part of your credentials and assists the app in determining which server to reach out to when verifying your username and password.

Q: How can I change the email address for my parent account?
A: This can be changed through your school’s web portal.
- After signing in to the web portal, click Account Preferences on the left menu
- Select the Profile tab
- Change email entered on this page and click Submit
Note: Your district may have disabled the setup screen. If so, please contact your school administrator directly. Student emails should be changed by contacting the school as well.

Q: When I try to look at a particular feature, such as GPA, I’m seeing a message stating the feature is “disabled.” How can I fix this?
A: Features such as GPA, assignment grades, and schedule are configured on a school-by-school basis by your school district’s PowerSchool administrators.
If you believe a feature may have been disabled or left disabled unintentionally, reach out to your district and let them know. Your school district’s PowerSchool administrators can contact support directly if further assistance is needed to make changes.
