Set the website up first — the app cannot create an account.

Parent Portal access

When the Parent Portal is open

When you can sign in depends on your child’s grade.

Grades 3 – 8

Open all year. Sign in whenever you like to see attendance, grades and report cards. There is no window to wait for.

Kindergarten – 2nd grade

Open at three points in the year for report card viewing, and closed in between. A paper copy of the report card is also sent home with your child.

  1. First report card Opens Friday, December 4, 2026after 3:30 PM Closes Friday, December 18, 2026
  2. Second report card Opens Friday, March 12, 2027after 3:30 PM Closes Thursday, March 25, 2027
  3. End of year Opens the last day of school, June 2027after 3:30 PM Closes 10 days later

New to St. Joseph this year? The portal is also open for the first 10 days of the school year so you can create your Parent Portal account. If that window has already passed, submit a ticket and we will get you set up.

Adding a second child later?

Do not create another account — add them to this one. That is on the returning parent page.

Access email not arriving? If the access email never arrives, or PowerSchool will not accept the Access ID, submit a ticket and we will sort it out.
