Need a Parent Portal account?
Navigate to the Parent Portal and click on "Create a Parent Account" below the "Login to Parent or Student Portal" button. Fill out the form on the next screen. You will need the ID number of one of your students in order to create a Parent Portal account. If you do not know your student's ID, go to Student ID Retrieval or contact your current school office.
1. Once the form is complete, click "Submit". You will be prompted to select your username and password. Click "Submit".
2. An activation e-mail will be sent to the address used to create your account. Please click the link in the e-mail in order to activate your account. Once completed, you will receive another e-mail informing you that your account is now active (this may take up to 15 minutes).
