Dear Parents:
The Parent Portal (PowerSchool) is now open for users with existing accounts. Details are listed below for users without existing accounts.
It has come to our attention some of our parents did not receive an email that was sent yesterday with instructions on how to access the Parent Portal (PowerSchool).
·
If you have an active Parent Portal (PowerSchool) account, an email was sent to the email address associated with the account.
·
If you do not remember the email address you attached to your Parent Portal (PowerSchool) account, then you may send an email to
powerschool@lovejoyisd.net
and request that information.
·
If you have never set up a Parent Portal (PowerSchool) account, an email was not sent to you.
·
Our team is creating accounts today for families new to Lovejoy ISD for 19-20 and any parents of students previously enrolled who never created an account. We will send an additional communication once your account has been created.
·
If you only received one email, but have multiple children, your Parent Portal (PowerSchool) login remains the same. The pattern to attach multiple students to the same account is provided below.
Below you will find the language of the email which was sent yesterday:
Lovejoy ISD PowerSchool Parent Portal will open for access on Monday, August 12th for viewing student schedules, homerooms, and completing the annual student enrollment updates (FERPA, Waivers, and Transportation Requests). Parent Portal accounts have been updated over the summer. Parent Portal usernames will now be your primary email address. If you already had a Parent Portal account setup, the email address used when you created the account will now be your new username.
To access your PowerSchool Account:
2.
Click on “Forgot Username or Password?”
3.
Enter your NEW Parent Username ( email account that was on your previous account or the email used as a new enrollee)
4.
Enter the same email address in the “Parent Email Address” field.
5.
Click on Enter.
6.
An email will be sent to this email address with a link to set a new password for your account (only valid for 24 hours).
When you log into the Parent Portal (PowerSchool), you should see your student(s) attached to your account. However, if a student is missing and not attached to your account, you may add them using their Student Access ID and Access Password listed below. To add a student to your account: while logged into the Parent Portal, go to your account preferences and select the "Students" tab and select "Add".
Student
: First Name
Access ID
: Firstname_Lastname
Access Password
: xxxxLL (the last 4 digits of SSN followed by first initial of first name and last name) i.e John Doe is John_Doe and then 1234JD
·
If you use the mobile app, you will need to update the app with your new username and new password.
·
For additional questions you may contact your student’s campus, or Nancy Lessner, District PEIMS Coordinator at 469.742.8005.
PowerSchool has also enhanced the student’s contacts information. Contacts will only need to be created one time and can be attached to multiple students, including emergency contacts and those authorized to pick up your child from school. Contact information added and/or updated for a student is done one time and will update for all students linked to the contact. This includes updating phone numbers, email addresses, home/mailing addresses, etc. across all campuses.
Have a great start to the 2019-2020 school year.
Respectfully,
Dr. Dennis Womack
Assistant Superintendent of Operations
