PowerSchool and eFunds Information
PowerSchool Parent Portal and eFunds for School (Online Payment)
PowerSchool Parent Portal:
Gives parents and students access to real-time information including attendance, grades, and detailed assignment descriptions. 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, and set email and notifications preferences for each student linked to their account. If account sign-in information has been forgotten, it can be retrieved by using the auto-recovery feature on the sign-in page.
All parents who turned in the PowerSchool Parent Portal AUP should have received an email with login information.
If you did not receive an email, please complete the PowerSchool Parent Portal AUP below and return it to the School Office.
