PowerSchool
Overview
Our PowerSchool Parent Portal is available for students and their parents and guardians of ALL grade levels. It is a confidential, web-based application that allows students and parents to view current and historical grades as well as class assignments and attendance. The purpose of this tool is to improve communication between students, teachers, and parents.
To access the parent portal, parents and guardians will need to create a registered account using AccessID and AccessPassword assigned to each student. Multiple students can be added to one PowerSchool Parent Portal account. All guardians can create separate PowerSchool Parent portal accounts for their students using the same AccessID and AccessPassword.
Account information (AccessID and AccessPassword) is included on all high school report cards and progress reports. Please contact your child’s school secretary if you don’t have AccessID and AccessPassword for your child so you can set up a PowerSchool Parent Portal account.
For quick access, you may wish to add this link to your "favorites" on your home computer.
Please remember the importance of privacy and security when accessing grades via the portal. Usernames and passwords should not be shared. Below, you will find more detailed information, including instructions for accessing the parent portal and answers to frequently asked questions.

There is a separate access id and password for every child. The district code is WDFH.
