Create Parent Account
By default, parents can create their own access accounts in the PowerSchool Student and Parent portal. If parents are self-registering, the PowerSchool SIS automatically checks the new account against all existing accounts to see if there is an exact match (First Name, Last Name and Account Email). If there is a match, the accounts are consolidated.
