Parent PowerSchool Access
PowerSchool Parent Access for Middle and High School Parents
The Lake Shore Central School District has successfully implemented an electronic student information system called PowerSchool. This student data management system is used by the district to administer a wide range of student information, including grades, attendance, course assignments, schedules, demographics, and student activity data.
PowerSchool Parent Access is available for all parents with students in grades 6-12. This provides parents, guardians, students and teachers with another tool to communicate grades, attendance, assignments, teacher comments and school announcements on an ongoing basis via the Internet.
Since PowerSchool is web-based, it can be accessed from any computer that is connected to the Internet. In order for parents to access this new feature, they must have the following computer/internet access:
High speed Internet access AND either system listed below:
- Macintosh
- - Safari 2.0.X - 3.0.X
- - Firefox 2.0.X
- - Java 1.4.2 or Java 1.5 (Java 5)
- Windows
- - Internet Explorer 6.0
- - Firefox 2.0.X
- - Java 6
- - Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 for Windows
For best results use the latest versions of Firefox available at www.mozilla.com and Java available at www.java.com .
Parents can view their own Child’s attendance and grade information by subject, through the use of the PowerSchool Parent Access Portal application via the Internet. Each user (parent/guardian) is issued a unique username and password that will allow access to only view their Child’s information. Parents/guardians who have more than one child in the district in grades 6-12 will receive separate passwords for each child. Parents may provide their children with their username and password so they can view their attendance and grade information as well.
