PowerSchool has the facility to allow parents to login to a public portal to view their student demographics, grades, notices and schedule. This login allows the parent to know these relevant details without contacting the school.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
1. Navigate to the following website: https://powerschool.churchofjesuschrist.org/public/home.html
Option A: Use your Child’s Username and Password
A1. As a parent you can use the same login details as the child you are caring for. To login using their details, simply type in your child’s Username (ID) and Password and then click on the Sign In button.
Option B: Create a ‘Parent’ Account to View Multiple Children
B1. Instead of using your child’s Username and Password you can create your own account and view one or more children using the same login. To create your own account, click on the Create Account tab. Read the instructions and then click on the blue 'Create Account' button
B2. In order to create the Parent/Guardian account, you will need enter a number of details. Firstly provide your First Name, Last Name and Email.
B3. Next, choose a Username. The username should be easy for you to remember. If your name is Sione Tukuafu, then you might choose a Username such as Tukuafu715.
B4. Next you must choose a Password. This should be easy to remember but hard for others to guess. Ideally it should be a combination of letters and numbers. For example: Moroni112233. Type your chosen password into the password box and then retype it in the box below to confirm.
B5. Next you will need to tell the system which students are under your care. You will need to use an Access ID and Access Password in order to add the students to your account. You can obtain the Access ID and Password from the school office.
For each student, enter their Name, Access ID, Access Password and define their Relationship with you. The Access ID and Password is not the Student Username and Student Password. It is the Access ID and Access Password given on the Parent Web Access letter. The example below shows my relationship with two students. You may include up to 7 students in your account.
B6. When you are finished, click the Enter button.
B7. If your account creation was successful, you will be taken to the screen below. Login to the Public Portal using the Username and Password you just created.
B8. As a parent/guardian you will see the same information as the students you care for, but with a few additional options. For example, I added two children to my account and can switch between children by clicking on their Name at the top of the web page.
B9. You can also adjust your account settings (email, password, username etc) by clicking on the Account Preferences button located at the bottom of the web page.
