NOTES
The PowerSchool Parent Portal 'times out' very quickly. The Parent Portal will log you out after a few minutes of no activity (switching between screens.) This is a security feature to help keep your student's records private.

How To Create a Parent Portal Account and Add a Student

PowerSchool - How To Create an Account and Add a Student
Parents create their own accounts. Once a Parent Account has been created one or more students can be added to that account. In order to add a student you must have the student Access Code and the Access Code Password.
Please note that the student username and password will only enable you to see that one student.
 
Go to http://www.WLS4Kids.org/ParentPortal
Click on the 'Parent / Student Login' button

Since we need to create our account we will click on 'Create Account' in the lower right-hand corner.
 
Type your First Name, Last Name and e-mail address in the boxes provided.
Type your desired username in the box provided. If your desired username is already taken you will be asked to enter a different username.

Type your password twice. Please make this a secure password. Your password must also be at least 6 characters long.

Enter your child's name, Access ID, Access Password and relationship. The ID and Password are the only things that need to match the information you received. You can add up to eight students at this time. More can be added later.

Click on Submit
 
You will now be returned to the login page where you need to actually use the username and password that you just set up.
 
Once you are logged in there are few things to note...
Logout is in the top right corner.

The icons down the left hand side are all of the options / items you have the rights to see and use.
