How To Create A Parent Account

A page named Create Parent Account is available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and is accessible via Sign In page > Create Account. This link is visible only if Parent Single Sign-On is enabled.

This page allows parents to establish their own parent account. The first section on the page, Create Parent Account, is the information necessary to establish the parent's account. All fields in this section are required, and include the following:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Email (must be unique)
• Desired User Name (must be unique)
• Password
• Re-enter Password

The second section on the page, Link Students to Account, requires that the information for at least one student be provided, and includes the following:

• Student Name
• Access ID (provided by your child's school, ask for the "Web ID and Password Letter for Parents")
• Access Password (provided by your child's school, ask for the "Web ID and Password Letter for Parents")
• Relationship

Parents may enter the information for up to seven students when initially establishing their account. If they need to add additional students they can do so after establishing their account. If they need to add additional students by signing in and navigating to Account Management > Students.

Common data entry errors include not completing all fields, entering an email address or username that is already associated with another account or entering incorrect access IDs or passwords. When this occurs, parents will need to re-enter any information that was not entered correctly, and also re-enter any passwords for security reasons.

Account Preferences

A page named Account Preferences is available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and is accessible once the parent signed in by clicking the Account Preferences icon in the top navigation menu. This page allows parents to manage their account information, including their name, user name, account password, and email address. Parents can also add additional students to their account, provided they have the access ID and access password for any student they wish to add.

Email Preferences

The Email Notification page available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal has been updated and is accessible once the parent has signed in by clicking the Email Preferences icon in the top navigation menu. This page allows parents to customize their email preferences for each student associated with their account.

This is one way to encourage your parents to sign up for the new Parent account; they can set up email preferences per student and ensure that they continue receiving the email notifications via email.
