PowerSchool Parent Access Overview

PowerSchool Parent Access gives parents, guardians, and students access to PowerSchool so that they can view grades, attendance, and other school information. A unique username and password secures access for each user.

There are three pieces of information you must have before you can log in to PowerSchool Parent Access:

  • URL: Since PowerSchool is web-based, the system at your school must have an Internet address. If you do not know the address for PowerSchool at your school, contact your PowerSchool administrator.
  • Username: Your username can be assigned manually or generated by the system automatically. If you have questions about your username, contact your PowerSchool administrator.
  • Password: Like the username, your password can be assigned manually or generated by the system automatically. If you have questions about your password, contact your PowerSchool administrator.

PowerSchool can be set to automatically log out of the system when you are not actively working in Parent Access for a specified amount of time. If that is the case, you need to log in again to work in Parent Access.

How to Log In to Parent Access

  1. Open your web browser to your school’s PowerSchool Parent Access URL. The Parent and Student Logon page appears.

  2. Enter your username in the Userid field.
  3. Enter your password in the Password field. The characters appear as asterisks (*) to ensure greater security when you log in.
  4. Click Enter. The Parent Access Home page displays the available functions. The main menu on the left displays the same links as those on the Parent Access Home page. For more information on these functions, see the section "PowerSchool Parent Access Functions."

How to Log Out of Parent Access

When you finish using PowerSchool Parent Access, log out of the system. You can log out from any page in Parent Access.

On either the start page or the main menu, click Logout. The "Parent and Student Logon" page appears, and you must reenter your username and password to redisplay the start page. For more information, see the section "How to Log In to Parent Access."
