Adding a New Student to an Existing PowerSchool Account

Log in to the existing PowerSchool guardian account.

In the PowerSchool home page, click the Account Preferences link on the left.

In the Account Preferences page that comes up, click the Students tab, then click the Add button.

Complete the Add Student form that pops up. Student Name can be any value. Access ID and Access Password are the credentials mailed out for the invited student (the same ones used to create a new guardian account). Relationship should be set as appropriate. Click Submit.

The result is that the student name is added to the banner at the top of the PowerSchool home page, alongside any student names already there. You can click on a name to see the information about that student.

You only need to do the above steps once per student.

Multiple guardians can add the same student to their respective PowerSchool guardian accounts. They will each need the (same) Access ID and Access Password credentials for that student.

Once you have added the student you no longer need to use the Access ID and Access Password information. Those are used only one time to connect the student to your account. From then on you will log in to PowerSchool using the username and password that you chose when you created your guardian account (or the password that you chose when you later changed your account password).
