Logging on:: PowerSchool is a secure, web-based application portal that can be accessed from any computer with internet access and a web browser.

Secure Access: PowerSchool requires all parents/guardians to have a different username and password for each child in the school system.

Students at the high school's may also be given access to the Parent/Student portal.
