Dear Orchard Middle School Families:

You and your Orchard student can now access information about student grades through our PowerSchool student data system. PowerSchool offers separate student and parent access accounts. Both accounts have access to the exact same content. To log in to PowerSchool, students use the account credentials they use to access the computers at school. Parents, however, create their own accounts in the system and may link all of their children into a single account. If you have a child in grades 8-12 and have an existing parent account, simply use the Access ID and Password below to link your Orchard student to your existing account by following step 5 below. If this is the first time you will be using PowerSchool gradebook, please follow the directions starting at step 1 below to create your account.

To get started:

1. Click on the PowerSchool link in the News & Notes section on the school home page or go to

2. Click on the blue “Create Account” button at the bottom of the page and a Create Parent/Guardian Account table will appear.

3. Fill in your name, email, and a username and password of your choosing (please note the Password requirements). Then enter your first student in the “Link Students to Account” table at the bottom of the page using the Student Name, Access ID and Access Password as follows:

Student Name: Last name, First name

Access ID: «Web_Id»

Access Password: «Web_Password»

4. Click Enter. The log in page will appear. You may then log in with the new username and password you created.

5. To add and link your other Solon students, click on “Account Preferences” in the left Navigation column. Select the “Student” tab to the right of the “Profile” tab and then click “Add+” in the “My Students” bar. You will need the Access ID and Access Password for each student you want to add.

Your Username and Password are case sensitive. If you need assistance, please use the Help pages within the PowerSchool program, or email tstrom@.

All students you enter will appear in the top blue bar under PowerSchool. By clicking on a student’s name, you can see his or her schedule and grades. Under email notification, you may elect to receive brief emails on your child’s assignment and test grades as they are posted. We will not be using the school announcement or balance alert messages as that information is communicated to parents though the district’s current Blackboard Connect and EZpay systems.

Parent and student access to PowerSchool is also available through Apple and Android apps. Download the Apple App from the AppStore and the Android App from Get It On Google Play. To log in to the App, enter our district code (MJTX) and the username and password you created for yourself in PowerSchool.
