PowerSchool Parent Login
As of February 13, 2012, Elk Island Public Schools has upgraded to PowerSchool 7.1.
This new version allows parents the capacity to create a single sign on for all students in one family in junior high and high school. Even if you have been using the Parent Portal to access student(s)information in the past, you will now have to CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT so that you may access academic and attendance information for multiple students with a single log in. Please note that the upgrade to PowerSchool 7.1 does not affect the student login and password. Students will continue to use their previously assigned user name and password.
The URL Address for the PowerSchool Parent portal is https://powerschool.eips.ca/public. Once you navigate to this page, you will see a section titled "CREATE AN ACCOUNT". Clicking on the blue "Create Account" button, brings up a page needed to establish the new information to access your student(s).
To assist you in logging into the Parent Portal you may visit http://www.eips.ca/content.php?page=309 for an instructional video.
To log into the Parent Portal go to https://powerschool.eips.ca/public.
NOTE: The parent portal will be unavailable EVERY Sunday between 9:00 and 10:00 pm due to scheduled regular maintenance.
