What is PowerSchool's Parent Portal?

PowerSchool's Parent Portal provides parents/guardians of students in grades Pk-5 with real-time access to their child's teacher assignments and attendance. In order to create a Parent Portal account in PowerSchool, the parent/guardian must receive an access ID (code) from your school.

Can a parent/guardian access student information on the Internet?

Access to student information from the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Only after a family has enrolled their child (ren) in the Orange School System will a parent/guardian be authorized to access the web account. Once a student withdraws or graduates from the Orange District their access will be inactivated.

Who can witness a parent sign a parent portal access agreement?

Each parent/guardian must complete and sign a Parent Portal Access Agreement before viewing student information. A School Official or staff designee must witness the parent/guardian sign this form. The parent/guardian must provide a photo ID or alternate legal document prior to signing.

What are the rules for parents/guardians who use the portal?

5) Parents/guardians who identify a security problem within the Portal must notify their school immediately, without demonstrating the problem to anyone else. 6) Parents/guardians will not share their password with anyone, including their own child (ren). 7) Parents/guardians will not set their computer to automatically login to the Internet site.
