PowerParent Instructions

PowerSchool Parent - Creating an Account and Logging In:

  1. Go to psnlsd.cliu.org 
     
  2. If you already have an account, enter your username and password and click Sign In.  If you forgot your username or password, click on the Forgot Username or Password link and follow the directions to have the recovery information emailed to you.
     
  3. To sign up for a new PowerSchool Parent account, click on the Create Account tab, then click on Create Account to enter your account details and link your child/children.  You may add multiple children to your account.
     
  4. Enter your first name, last name, email address (entered twice to verify accuracy), desired username (do not use an email address for your username), and a password (entered twice to verify accuracy).
     
  5. Fill in your child/children's first name. Enter the Access ID and Access Password provided in a letter to you by your child's school.  If you have not received this information for your child/children, please reach out to your child's/children's building office to request this information. 
     
    • Be sure to verify that you are using the correct characters since there may be O’s and 0’s in the password.
       
    • The password is case sensitive so make sure you enter the password as typed in capital letters.
       
    • You will need to add each child individually to your new account during the setup process or you may add additional students in PowerSchool Parent after you have logged in.
       
  6. After you successfully created an account, you will receive an email with a link to verify your account. You need to verify your email address and new account within 24 hours of creating your account. You will use the login information that you have just setup to access your PowerSchool Parent account and you will no longer use the Access ID and Access Password provided by the school unless you need to add another student to your account which will be done after logging into PowerSchool Parent.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
  7. Once you are logged into PowerSchool Parent, you will see each child you have added during the sign up process. You may get further assistance by clicking on help in the upper right hand corner of the page.
     
  8. Be sure to use the logout button in the upper right hand corner when you are finished using the portal as this clears your session on the server and helps with security.
