PowerSchool Parent Accounts

The district provides an online gradebook and student information system, available via the internet using a web browser as well as iOS and Android mobile apps. Students and parents access it as PowerSchool, while instructors access the system as PowerTeacher.

There is a very thorough PowerSchool Student and Parent Portal User Guide, but most folks do not need it to navigate the system.

Students are assigned a username and password when they enroll at a site. Parents can use the student login, but can also set up their own individual "Single Sign On" login credentials. This is especially helpful for parents and guardians with multiple students in the district since they can access all of their students' information with a single login. In addition, it allows users to retrieve forgotten login and password information themselves rather than requiring a call to school.

Creating a parent Sign In account

If you already have a Parent Account, but need to add another student, skip to the Adding Another Student to Your Parent Account section below.

  1. Use the following link to access the district’s PowerSchool system: https://sis.bps-ok.org/public/home.html

  2. Click to select the Create Account tab.

  3. Click on the Create Account button.

  4. Fill in the information on the Create Parent Account screen.

    • First Name is YOUR first name.

    • Last Name is YOUR last name.

    • Email is YOUR parental email address.

    • Desired Username is the username you wish to use with PowerSchool

    • Password is something you make up, and must be at least 6 characters long; 8 is better and a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers is more secure.

    • Re-enter Password is a repeat of the password you made up to confirm it was typed in correctly. For each Student Account you wish to link to, you must enter the Student Name, Access ID, and Access Password and select your Relationship to the student (e.g. mom, dad, grandmother). The "Access ID" and "Access Password" are NOT the same as the username and password a student uses to access PowerSchool; they are unique identifiers that should have been shown on past correspondence from the school. If you cannot locate that information, please call the school to have a reminder letter mailed to you.

    • Click the Enter button when finished.

  • NOTE: You may NOT use your email address as your username; if you do not know the information for all of your children, you can add them later. 

  • If you get an error message that invalid student information was entered, you are probably not using the Parent Access ID and Parent Access Password for that student. You have probably been logging in as a student all along. You may be able to locate the parent information in past correspondence from the school. If not, please call the school or class office to have a reminder letter mailed to you.

  • When you do access PowerSchool, you can view grades, assignment details, attendance, and more. See the step-by-step guide.

  • PowerSchool Student and Parent Portal User Guide is attached at the bottom of this page.
