<strong>Linn</strong>-<strong>Mar</strong> <strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> Parent <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Parents,<br />

Please read this important information so you can access your students <strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> information. During<br />

the summer we have installed the newest Version 6.2 to <strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> so parents/guardians will now have<br />

the ability to create an account that will allow you to access all your students from a SINGLE LOGIN. You will<br />

also be able to create your own <strong>User</strong> Names and Passwords.<br />

You will need to go to the <strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> login page:<br />

https://ps-linnmar.gwaea.org or click onto the <strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> link on<br />

the schools website. You will see the following screen:<br />

1. Click the Create Account button<br />

2. The screen below will appear<br />

This is where you will setup access to ALL<br />

your students.<br />

• Enter an E-Mail address – Note: The<br />

e-mail address MUST be unique. If<br />

Parent/Guardians share the same<br />

e-mail address, you should only set<br />

up one parent access account.<br />

• <strong>User</strong> Name (No apostrophe’s and do<br />

not use any email address).<br />

• Password (No apostrophe’s and it<br />

must me at least six characters)<br />

• Enter the Name of each Student<br />

you wish to associate with.<br />

• Enter the Access ID and Access<br />

Password for each student. If you<br />

do not know this information, then<br />

contact the office where your<br />

student attends school.<br />

student.<br />

3. Click Enter when you have completed this link to all of your students.

4. Assuming you are successful, you will receive this<br />

message.<br />

If Parent/Guardians share the same account, ONLY ONE Parent/Guardian may access the account at a time.<br />

Do not set your browser to save passwords to this site. It will cause your<br />

password to appear not to work!<br />

After successfully logging in, you will see a series of tabs under the<br />

<strong>Power<strong>School</strong></strong> logo listing your student family members.<br />

• Select the appropriate name to change the page to that student’s<br />

information.<br />

What if you forget your login information?<br />

On the login page click on Having Trouble Logging in?<br />

If you forgot your Password:<br />

• Fill in your <strong>User</strong> Name<br />

• Fill in your E-Mail Address<br />

• Hit Enter<br />

The system will authenticate your information and send you a<br />

Security Token with instructions on how to re-set your Password<br />

to the E-Mail address listed.<br />

It is important to note that the Security<br />

Token sent is only good for 30 minutes. If<br />

the Parent/Guardian fails to re-set the<br />

Password in that allotted time, you will<br />

need to repeat the process.<br />

If you forgot your <strong>User</strong> Name:<br />

• Click on the Forgot <strong>User</strong> Name tab<br />
