PowerSchool Parent Portal Definitive Contact Guide
Questions & Answers:
- What is a Definitive Contact?
- This is the parent/guardian who completes the 'back-to-school' paperwork, signs the required forms, and keeps the student's information up-to-date.
- What if a family needs to change who is listed as the Definitive Contact?
- Contact the school office. For safety and security purposes, they will review the information with you and make those changes.
- Who will receive all communications and parent portal account invitations?
- All custodial parents/guardians with a valid email address on file in PowerSchool will receive an invitation to create an account.
- Website vs. App?
