The Fox Chapel Area School District utilizes the SchoolMessenger system to deliver text messages with important information about events, school closings, safety alerts, and more. You can participate in this service by sending a text message of “Y,” “Yes,” or "Subscribe" to our school’s short code number, 67587.
We are very excited about how the SIS-K12 Parent Portal will help you stay informed about your student’s progress and hope that we can use this tool to create a stronger relationship between parents and our school community.
In order to sign up for the Parent Portal you must have a valid e-mail address and Internet access on a computer for this service.
Visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal and sign in with your PowerSchool Username and Password. If this is the first time you have accessed PowerSchool, click the Create Account tab and provide the requested information. Student Access IDs can be obtained from your building.
You can change your email address by clicking on “Account Preferences” in your PowerSchool parent account. Adding Emails to Your PowerSchool Parent Account. It is important to note that each parent/guardian does not need their own account to receive email notifications. Multiple emails can be added to the account.

A PowerSchool enhancement has changed where the report card tab is located in the parent portal. Instead of having a tab for report cards next to the “Grades and Attendance” tab, a section on the left navigation bar now lists “Report Cards.”. This will show the student’s report card for the marking period.
Parents/guardians can update their notifications for attendance and grade information. If parents/guardians need completely separate PowerSchool accounts, they should contact the school secretary at their child’s school. Changing Your SchoolMessenger Notifications.
