Parent PowerSchool and Canvas Accounts
Toward the end of August, Park City High School will e-mail out information on how to create your parent accounts for PowerSchool (grades and attendance) and Canvas (lessons and assignments). With this information, you will create your own usernames and passwords, and you can link all your district students to your account in each system.
Parents in separate households can each create their own accounts.
If you set up your parent accounts previously, you can continue using them; you don’t need to create new ones.
How to Create Your Accounts:
- Parent PowerSchool Accounts: How to create your Parent PowerSchool Account
- TIP: Create your account using a web browser, NOT the mobile app. Once created, then use the app.
- If you need the Parent Access ID/Password for your PCHS student, see the "Where Can I Get Help?" section below.
- To use the PowerSchool Mobile App, our district code is GFGM.
- Parent Canvas Accounts: How to create your Canvas Parent Observer Account
- You get the "Student Pairing Code" from your student's Canvas account (they will go to Settings, then click the "Pair with Observer" button).
- You get the "Student Pairing Code" from your student's Canvas account (they will go to Settings, then click the "Pair with Observer" button).
Where Can I Get Help?
FORGOT YOUR LOGIN USERNAME OR PASSWORD?
If you already set up your parent account, and you forgot your login, please use the "Forgot Username or Password?" function on the PowerSchool or Canvas sign-in pages. If you still need help, see below.
HELP DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR:
Please refer to this Getting Tech Help document. You will typically receive a response to emails and helpdesk tickets within two working days. However, in August, we are busy getting the school year started, so the Tech Department's response may take longer than normal.
SUMMER HELP ONLY:
You can email Ryan Garey at rgarey@pcschools.us if you need help accessing your Parent PowerSchool account. Note that PowerSchool goes offline each July for summer maintenance. It will be turned back on about a week before school starts.
Parent Electronic Device Orientation
Parent Electronic Device Orientation
All Park City High School students will receive a district-owned laptop to use for the school year. Parents are required to view the Electronic Device Orientation every year before the student receives their computer. Parents may watch the orientation from home or at school.
Make sure you have reviewed and electronically signed both the Internet Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and the Electronic Device User Agreement (EDUA) during the annual online registration process. Students will not receive their laptop until all three pieces (Orientation, AUP, and EDUA) have been received and recorded by school officials.
Orientación de dispositivos electrónicos para padres
Todos los estudiantes de Park City High School recibirán una computadora portátil propiedad del distrito para usar durante el año escolar. Se requiere que los padres vean la Orientación sobre dispositivos electrónicos antes de que el estudiante reciba su computadora. Los padres pueden ver la orientación desde casa o en la escuela.
Asegúrese de haber revisado y firmado electrónicamente tanto la Política de uso aceptable de Internet (AUP) como el Acuerdo de usuario de dispositivo electrónico (EDUA) durante el proceso de registro en línea. Los estudiantes no recibirán su computadora portátil hasta que los funcionarios escolares hayan recibido y registrado las tres piezas (Orientación, AUP y EDUA).
