If you do not have access to the internet, your child's school site or the district office has computers available to set up your Parent Portal account.

Step 1

• Click HERE to access the Parent Portal
• If you've never created an online PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you will need to create an account now using information provided above.
• If you already have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you can sign in using the email and password you chose when setting up your account and complete the Annual Registration Update. (You can use the same account to complete forms for multiple children).

Step 2

• Sign in to the portal. Click on "Forms" on bottom left side of screen.
• Click on the "Enrollment" tab at the top
• Work through each form to update all required information. Be sure to check boxes on the three authorization sections for Technology Use Agreement, Student Health Insurance, and Photo Release Forms. Once completed, click 'Submit'.

***Please note that failure to complete the Annual Registration Update and electronically sign the Student Waiver Forms may restrict them from participation in extracurricular activities, class field trips and use of technology during non-class time.***

What if I forgot my Username or Password?

You may click the link that says 'Forgot Username or Password' and follow the instructions to reset your account. 

Do I have to answer all the questions?

Questions marked with the text "Required" require an answer. You will not be able to submit your update if you do not answer all “Required” questions.

What if I don’t have any changes to my child’s information?

ALL WPUSD families are required to complete the Annual Registration Update (formerly Emergency Contact Update) within your Parent Portal account as well as sign the required annual student waivers.

What if I make a mistake?

If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click "Previous”. If you made a mistake after submitting, you may contact your child's school to verify any changes. 

I completed the form, now what?

When you have finished entering your information, click "Submit". This will send all of the information you entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure all the required fields are complete.

What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?

Yes, because you need to provide information that is specific for each child.

I do not understand what the question is asking.

You may contact your child's school site during office hours to ask any general questions about completing the Annual Registration Update. School sites cannot assist in technical difficulties. 

Help! I'm having technical difficulties.

For technical support, please contact the Technology Department at helpdesk@wpusd.org.
