In order to create your account, you will need the Web ID letter from your child’s school office. This letter contains your child’s unique access ID and password.

Parents/guardians will need to create their own username and password. Note: The access ID and password on your child’s letter is only used to ‘link’ your child to your account. If you have not received this or are having problems logging in or creating your account, please contact your school office.

How to create your parent account

Go to https://powerschool.pembinahills.ca/public.
Click on the Create Account button.

• Enter your first and last name.
• Enter your email address; this is the email address to which all notices from the school are sent.
• Enter a username of your choice, it MUST NOT contain a space, hyphen or special character.
• Enter a password. As you type your password, PowerSchool determines the strength of the password and you have a visual display of the strength from weak, to better to strong. The stronger the password, the more secure it is. Choose a password that you can remember but that is difficult for others to guess.
  IMPORTANT! Your password MUST be at least EIGHT (8) characters in length

Link your children to your account

You can add up to seven children to your account. This may include your own children, foster children or any child under your guardianship.
