Apparently, with the new update to PowerSchool SIS, now only the accountholder has access to see the student's password. I'm not sure if the accountholder is the student or parent. But this means that I'm now unable to give a student his/her password to login and see their grades. I did an overall reset of logins for all students and was able to give some students their new username. However, when they tried to reset their password, they were instructed to enter an email. But the students never receive the email to reset it. I'm not sure what email address they should put. In the meantime, the students are frustrated because they have no access and I'm at a complete loss. Can ANYONE HELP ME???? 😞

After speaking with PowerSchool. I was given an answer. I reset all of the students' password to a standard one like TEST2023. The password must meet the requirements that is specified in your SIS. I exported all of the students onto an excel spreadsheet by student number and user ID that's in PowerSchool. I assigned everyone the same standard password and imported the information into PS. The students were able to log in with their unique user ID and standard password assigned. Once prompted, they were able to create a NEW password that only they will know. FYI, the student must use the standard password assigned as the CURRENT one before trying to create a new password. It worked! Now I have to figure out how to assigned log in for parents. I hope this helps someone else!
Our 5th through 12th grade use Power School to view their grades/assignments so everyone was wiped out.
Because our 5th grade is new to the system and any new students will all need to have the password redone manually.
They have tried the reset themselves but none of them ever receive an email.
The password change rule does not apply to grades levels under 9 unless your district decided to implement. If the student's are not receiving the password change email this article might help to troubleshoot the issue:
Did you have to reset each individual student? Will that reset every password or just the powerschool login info? Thanks.
I used Quick Import
Data and Reporting
Imports
Quick Import
The file that I imported was a text tab delimited file that had these fields in it filled with data
student_number
student_web_ID
student_web_password
Thank you so much! I will give this a try- what table did you select?
