Once you have created your Parent Portal account, we highly encourage you to download PowerSchool Mobile, a free app for your phone/tablet or other mobile device that allows you to easily access your child's grades, attendance, assignments, schedules, and other student information. Parents/guardians with multiple children in Durham Public Schools can link all students to a single account on the app. You can even register to receive alerts so you'll always be up-to-date on your child's latest educational information. 

The PowerSchool app is available to Parents and Students to download for free from the App Store for the iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and Apple Watch, and on Google Play for Android devices. Once downloaded, follow the steps below to set up your account.

• Click Install and then click Accept
• Enter the Durham Public Schools District Code - PLHX 
• Enter your PowerSchool Parent Portal username and password

Note: To login to the app, you must have your PowerSchool Parent Portal Account set up. If you do not have this information, please contact your child’s school for your username and password.
