The Ponca City Public School District is making student grade cards available electronically for the first time through the district’s PowerSchool student information system. The PowerSchool system allows secure access to parents through the Parent Portal. The Parent Portal allows parents and guardians to create individual accounts, each with a unique username and password. Parents will be able to view information on all of their children with one account. Parents will not only be able to download grade cards, but they can also check attendance, calendar events, etc.

Once parents have set-up their Parent Portal accounts, they can download the “PowerSchool for Parents” app. There will be a link in the Parent Portal that will allow parents to download the app. This “PowerSchool for Parents” app is available both for android and IOS devices. Parents who do not have access to a smart phone or a computer can contact their school, and a grade card will be printed for them.

Parents should have already received a letter from their principal with the Access ID and password to create an account in the Parent Portal. If you do not have this information, please contact your school. In order to create a new Parent Portal account, follow the steps below:

1. On the district website, www.pcps.us, click the “Parent Portal” link on the left.

2. Click the “Create Account” next to the “sign In” tab.

3. Click the blue “Create Account” button.

4. Enter your first name, last name, email address, and desired username.

10. Enter your relationship to the student.

11. Additional children may be entered on the additional lines. Enter each student’s name and unique Access ID/Password.

12. When all information has been entered, click “Enter”

If successful, parents will be directed to the login screen. If they receive an error message, they must correct the error(s) and re-enter the Acccess ID/Password for all students listed then click “Enter” again. If they continue to receive an error after following the above information, they will need to contact their child’s school.
