Dear Families,
We hope you are having a great summer. We are writing today to share with you a new process for completing the required forms for your student.
We are excited to share that completing our required verification forms is now available entirely online. This electronic format replaces the paper forms that we have traditionally sent home at the beginning of each school year. Families will use the PowerSchool Parent Portal to access, complete, and submit the Student Information Verification Form and other school forms.
You will receive an email from PowerSchool later this week with directions for how to access, complete, and submit the required forms. While the deadline to submit them is Friday, September 16,
please complete the forms prior to attending your student’s fee event or back-to-school open house. Computers will be available at each school’s event to complete the forms if you are unable to update the forms at home (paper forms in Spanish will also be available).
Questions? We recognize that you may have additional questions related to this change and have prepared answers to a few of the most common FAQs:
How do I get started (after receiving the email from PowerSchool)?
1. Log in to the
PowerSchool Parent Portal
2. Select the student you wish to complete a form for along the top
3. Select the Student Information Verification Form Icon on the left side for 2022-23
4. Agree to the terms and conditions
5. Select Begin Forms
Who do I contact if I don’t have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account?
Please contact your school to obtain your unique login information.
What if I can’t remember my login for the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
If you aren’t able to retrieve your login credentials using the “Having trouble signing in?” link on the Sign In page, please contact your school directly for assistance logging in to the Parent Portal.
What if I don’t receive an email from PowerSchool?
Please contact your school registrar.
Do I have to answer all the questions?
No. Some questions, however, are marked as required and must be answered before you can submit your form.
What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change prior to submitting the form, you can either navigate back to the page using the “Previous” and “Next” buttons or if you are on the Review page select the underlined field. If you have already submitted the form, please contact your student’s school so they can make the changes for you.
I’ve completed the form, now what?
Once you have finished entering your information select “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If the system will not let you submit the forms, please make sure that you have answered all required questions.
I have more than one student in HCPS. Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes. This information must be provided for each child. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another. This will allow you to “snap” (or share) selected family information, which saves you time.
I’ve moved and need to change my address in PowerSchool. How do I do that?
Please contact your school registrar to make an appointment to provide your proof of residency. Please note that this must be done in person and information, such as these required forms, will not be available in PowerSchool until the change of address is finalized.
Who do I contact for additional assistance?
Please contact your child’s school registrar for additional assistance.

We look forward to seeing our students back in school soon and appreciate your assistance with these required forms. Thank you.
