Welcome Parents, to Your PowerSchool Portal
Over the summer, we said goodbye to iPass, our old student information system, and implemented PowerSchool, a secure, innovative, and easy-to-use technology that "powers" our school's operations. The platform houses your teen's biographical information, course schedules, attendance, grades, class assignments, progress reports, and report cards. It helps us communicate and share information between our staff, students, and you as parents.
Use this page to learn more about how to:
• Create a parent account
• Link your teen to your account
• View your teen’s grades and attendance
• Access a listing of your teen’s teachers
PowerSchool Rollout
We're excited about the features offered in PowerSchool and are ready to share this new information with our BVT families.• On Wednesday, September 21st, your teen received their login and password to the
PowerSchool student portal via their school e-mail. Our Career Enrichment teachers
worked with them to navigate the setup of their accounts.
• Now it's your turn to create a parent account that can be linked to your teen(s) account.
Are you ready?
Create a Parent Account
A parent account allows you to view the information for one or more students with a single sign-in. You can also manage your personal account preferences.
STEP 1
Enter the PowerSchool portal. This link will bring you to a "Student and Parent Sign In" screen. Select the “Create Account” tab.
STEP 2
Fill out the "Parent Account Details" with your name and e-mail address (not your teen’s e-mail). Please note the e-mail address you use must be the same e-mail that is on file at BVT. If you are unsure of the e-mail address on file, or if you wish to change it, please call the Main Office at 508–529–7758.Complete the requested information by establishing a Username and Password. These can be unique to your preference but must be at least 8 characters long.
STEP 3
Scroll further down the page and fill in the information under "Link Student to Account." This is where you will enter the "Access ID" and "Access Password" provided in the e-mail that we sent to you on Thursday, September 22nd (or the registrar at the time of registration.)
STEP 4
If you have more than one student currently attending BVT, repeat STEP 3 for each of your students. Once you have linked all your student(s), click "Enter" to submit your registration. Congratulations! Your parent account is set up and you are now registered to access our new student information system!
