Resetting Your Password

If you’re having trouble accessing your PowerSchool Parent Portal account, follow these steps to reset your password.

Step 1: Try Resetting It Yourself

1. Go to https://powerschool.cdolinc.net.
2. Click Forgot Password? under the Parent Account Recovery Links section.
3. Enter your Username and Email Address associated with your account.
4. Check your Inbox, Spam, or Junk folders for the reset email.

Step 2: If You Still Can’t Reset It

If you didn’t receive the reset email or the link doesn’t work, a school administrator can reset it for you.

Here’s what they’ll do:

1. Search for your contact record in PowerSchool.
2. Confirm you have a Parent Portal account.
   
   • If not, they’ll send you a Parent Portal instruction letter to create one.
3. If you do have an account:
   
   • They’ll click Edit Account.
   • Enable the account if needed.
   • Set a temporary password (e.g., 1234).
   • Ensure you have Data Access for your student(s).

Step 3: Changing Your Password

Once you log in with the temporary password:

1. You’ll be prompted to create a new password.
   
   • Must be at least 8 characters.
   • Include uppercase and lowercase letters.
   • Include at least one number and one special character.
2. After changing your password, you’ll be redirected to the login screen.
3. Log in again using your Username and new password.

Reminder: The temporary password is only used once. You must create a new one to continue using the portal.
