POSTING OF PROGRESS REPORTS ONLINE

 
The Parent Portal was upgraded in PowerSchool last school year. This new portal allows each parent/guardian to create an account with their own unique User Name and Password, reactivate passwords if necessary, and link multiple daughters to one account. The email notification feature is also enabled this year for better communication. 

All parents must create an account in order to access student grades. If you haven't already done so, please CLICK HERE to review information and instructions on creating your unique parent account. If you are having difficulty creating a new account make sure you have created a unique username and password for yourself on the top portion and on the bottom use YOUR Parent User Name (for Access ID) and Password (Access Password) not daughter's. If you created an account but have forgotten your username or password click the "Having Trouble Logging In" link to reset your username or password. Please contact Colleen Rozman at cmrozman@mhsmi.org if you are unable to login.
