2. What is PowerSchool Parent Portal?
• PowerSchool Parent Portal will provide
parents with real-time information to access
student schedules, attendance, grades, and
test scores for students in third, fourth, and
fifth grades.
• Before you can log in to PowerSchool Parent
Portal, you will need a PowerSchool
username and password. It is a secure site.
• PowerSchool Parent Portal should be used as
a communication tool between the parent and
child to discuss assignments and progress.
• Please note that grades may not be updated
immediately as assignments are due.
Teachers should be updating grades weekly.
Please wait to contact the teacher if you do
not see a grade posted immediately.
