Already Have a PowerSchool Account With Your District?

If you're already using PowerSchool with your district, getting into SchoolEngage is easy. You have two ways to do it:

Accessing Through PowerSchool:

  1. Head over to your district's PowerSchool website and log in.

  2. Once you're in, look for SchoolEngage in the portal and click to open it.

Accessing Through SchoolEngage:

  1. Go directly to your district's SchoolEngage login page.

  2. Click the "Sign in with PowerSchool" button.

  3. You'll be taken to a PowerSchool login page. Just enter your PowerSchool login details there.

Note: If you've forgotten your PowerSchool password, make sure to reset it on the PowerSchool website, not on SchoolEngage.

New to the District?

If you're new to the district and don't yet have access to the PowerSchool Parent Portal, setting up a SchoolEngage account is your first step:

  1. Getting Started: Visit the SchoolEngage Sign In page and click Create New Account.

  2. Enter Your Email: Type in your email address in the provided fields.

  3. Choose a Password: Pick a password. It should follow any rules shown below the password field. If there aren't any rules mentioned, just remember to make it at least 8 characters long.

  4. Choose Your Role: Pick a role that describes your connection to the student. For students signing up on their own, there will be extra fields for you to fill out.

  5. Enter Your Information: Fill in all the details in the form. If any field turns red, it means that it's required and missing information or does not match the required format.

  6. Activating Your Account: After you finish registering, you'll receive a confirmation message and an activation email. To verify your account, simply click the link in the email. This step must be completed before you can access SchoolEngage.

    • The account activation email is valid for 24 hours after the account was created. If those 24 hours have past, you’ll have to create a new account, or get a staff member to activate it for you.

Important: If you try to make a new account and see a message that your email is already in use, head back to the login page. From there you can click “Forgot Password” and enter your email. You'll receive an email with a password reset link.
