PowerSchool Quick Help Guide

What is PowerSchool?

The PowerSchool Parent Portal gives parents and students access to real-time information including attendance, grades and detailed assignment descriptions, school bulletins and even personal messages from a teacher. PowerSchool’s Parent Portal provides single sign-on access. With single sign-on access, parents create and maintain their account using the appropriate access credentials. Once parents have created their account, they will be able to manage their account information, link any and all students to their account (for whom they have parental or legal rights), and set email and notifications preferences for each student linked to the account. If account sign-in information has been forgotten, it can be retrieved by using the “auto-recovery” feature on the sign-in page. You can even deposit money into lunch accounts.

PowerSchool can be accessed via any device, and a free App is available for Apple and Android users in your phone's app store. The District Code for all schools is: QHKK


 


 

How to Login to the PowerSchool Parent Portal:

Use the following procedure to create a new parent account. In order to create an account, you must have the Access ID and Password for at least one student enrolled. When creating the account, you will need the Access ID and Password for each student that you would like associated with your parent account. If you do not have this information or have questions, please contact the school.

Open your web browser to www.lakegenevaschools.com and find the PowerSchool drop-down at the top of the website. Choose Parents & Students. The parent Sign-in page appears. Click on Create Account tab and click Create Account button.

  • Fill in the Create Parent Account form. Note: You will choose your own username and password. Passwords must be a least 8 characters. You may be prompted to select a different username if one already exists with another user in the system.
  • Under Link Students to Account: Enter the student’s First Name, Last Name, School Web Access ID & Web Access Password (contact school office) and your relationship to each student. Note: The first name is the full name as indicated on their school enrollment form. Repeat to add additional students to your account if you have more than one student being added.
  • Click Enter. If successful, you will be directed to the Parent Sign-In Screen. If you receive an error message, you will need to make any corrections it suggests and fill in the passwords again.
    Next, check your email inbox for a message with the Subject: PowerSchool Account Email Verification and click the link provided to verify your account.
