The PowerSchool Parent Portal allows parents, guardians, and other appropriate individuals to view information contained in the ACPS PowerSchool student information system (SIS). Some of the types of information available through this portal are: school announcements, attendance, grades (current and historical), and schedules. The portal will also be used by parents and students to manage course requests for middle and high school.
You can use the Help link in the top right corner to access online help resources.
If you no longer have access to the email account that you used to create your portal account, you will need to contact the school to have a new email address associated with your portal account.
ACPS recommends that you use one of the following browsers Internet Explorer (version 8 or later), Firefox (version 3.6 or later), or Safari (version 4 or later). Other browsers may work, but are not officially supported.
Multiple individuals can create accounts that the same student ( e.g. each parent could have their own portal account). If other individuals wish to create their own accounts for a student, they will need to use the same Access Key.
You can create your account with one Access Key and add other students at a later date when you receive additional Access Keys. Anyone with a student’s Access Key can access that student’s information through the portal, so protect the Access Key information as you would protect other confidential information.
You must have an Access Key to create a portal account. Access Keys consist of an Access ID and an Access Password. Schools distribute Access Keys to parents, so if you need your student’s portal Access Key, please contact your student’s school.
