Please complete your online registration for students returning to District 2 for the 2023-2024 school year.

All families received a letter listing the specific login credentials required to complete each student’s registration. It will also include instructions for creating a Parent Portal account and completing the registration process in the District’s new PowerSchool student information system.

This is the first time that online registration will be conducted through the District's new PowerSchool student information system, and it will require parents to create Parent Portal accounts.

Visit www.bsd2.org/powerschool for a variety of online resources that will help parents create Parent Portal accounts, complete the registration process, and use PowerSchool to access their students’ schedules, attendance, assignments, and grades.

District 2 has completed its transition to its new PowerSchool student information system, as families can no log in and create accounts in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

This PowerSchool Parent Portal provides parents access to their students’ schedules, attendance, assignments, and grades. Parents will also use it later this spring to register returning students for the 2023-2024 school year.

Letters providing login information for the PowerSchool Parent Portal were sent home with elementary students and mailed to middle school students' home addresses in early December. If you didn't receive the letter or have since misplaced it, please contact your school office.

Online resources and webinars to help parents create and use their accounts are available at www.bsd2.org/powerschool.
