Parent Portal

If this is your first visit to the Parent Portal, click “Create Account” to set up your new account. To attach your child to the new account, you will need your child’s unique Access Password and OEN. If you did not receive your child’s Access Password, please contact your child’s school. OEN’s can be found on all provincial report cards.

If you have registered your child for the first time into the Kindergarten program, school office staff will contact you in June or late August to confirm and finalize your registration with the DDSB. At this time, you will receive your child’s Access Password and OEN to create your Parent Portal account or to add an additional child to your existing account. 

Start the process to reset your password by clicking on the “Forgot Username or Password” button below the sign in fields. 

Yes. The Returning Student Verification (RSV) form is available to parents annually through the Parent Portal. This annual information update process gives parents an opportunity to update information about their child. Please note: once the form is submitted for the year, further changes to information need to be managed through your school. More information about the RSV form can be found in the questions below. 

If you have a Parent Portal account and need to add additional students:

1. click “Account Preferences” on the left side of the screen
2. click “Students” and “Add.” You will need your child’s Access Password and OEN to complete the add
3. Once you have added the additional child, you will see a new tab along the blue banner at the top of the screen under PowerSchool Logo

The Access Passwords are emailed from schools to parents/guardians during the last week of August.

The OEN is a student identification number assigned by the Ministry of Education to Ontario elementary and secondary students. This unique number is used as the key identifier on a student's school records, and follows the student through his or her elementary and secondary education.

If your child has attended school in Ontario already, OEN’s can be found in the top centre of the page of any report card. If you do not have access to a report card, you will need to contact the school directly to receive your child’s OEN.

If your child is just starting school for the first time ie: Kindergarten, the OEN will not be assigned until after registration is finalized by the school.

This annual information review and update ensures that your student’s school has the most up to date contact and consent information.

• For students in Grade 7-12, the RSV form includes the 1:1 Chromebook Program Informed Consent (CPIC) which permits your student to receive or retain a Chromebook. Without a completed CPIC, students can not be given a Chromebook.
• If your child has SEA Technology, you will see the SEA Technology Informed Consent. This applies to students in all grades who have SEA Technology. 

Before the start of each school year, the RSV form can be accessed via the Parent Portal by late August. Families will receive an email via SchoolMessenger from DDSB containing further information for completing the form in the Parent Portal when it becomes available. 

1. Click on the Returning Student Verification button on the left side of the screen to review and update demographic and emergency contact information as well as review waivers and provide or withdraw Consents. This is required annually for all DDSB students. The Returning Student Verification form gives parents an opportunity to update their contact information including address, phone number, and email address changes, etc. Once you have submitted the form, close the Tab to return to the Parent Portal Home screen.
2. Typically, on the Thursday before the first week of school, your elementary child’s teacher name will be available on the “Grades and Attendance” tab (not available for secondary students) if you have completed the Student Verification Form.

Visit the Parent Portal often to see your child’s grades, attendance history, schedule. You can also link directly to the SchoolCash and Safe Arrival login pages from the quick links on the left side of the home screen.

School staff will return in late August, at which time they will be able to support families with questions about the Parent Portal.
