6.    Can I change my password? At this time, PowerSchool does not allow for the ability to change your password.  Please record it and keep it somewhere safe so you have it when you need it.

7.    I have multiple children in the district.  Can I have access to all their accounts under just one username and password?  PowerSchool does not allow for this (yet). Each child’s account information is housed under a separate account so you will have a different parent login for each child.

8.    My husband/wife and I are separated/divorced, can we get another parent username and password for our child’s account?   No. PowerSchool only allows one parent account to be created per child.  Therefore, both parents will have to use the same username and password that was assigned by the district.

9.    My password wasn't working or I lost my password.  What do I do??

 Please try the following:

1.  Try your username and password a few times just to make sure
      it’s not working correctly.
2.  Make sure you are not typing the letter O instead of a zero (0).
3.  For security reasons we will not give passwords via phone or email. You will need   to visit the school office in person and present your government-issued picture ID for identity verification.
