PowerSchool ParentPortal

The ParentPortal is where Parents see student progress, grades, attendance & much more.  Sign up today, then sign in regularly to see your student’s progress!

We request that all parents create and use an account in the ParentPortal.  Salem increasingly uses the ParentPortal to disseminate information to Parents and Students.  For example, starting in 2021, the Demographic Update form and the SummerSchool application form will primarily be collected through the FORMS page in the ParentPortal.
