Returning Students (attended Carroll at the end of last school year or attended KG roundup) carefully follow these instructions (see below) that include specific details for your student(s).
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please note that these instructions are for parent/guardian use only. Students already have an account created for them and will receive login instructions later. For security purposes, students should not use parent/guardian accounts.
Step 1: Set up a PowerSchool account
(Note – parents/guardians of returning students may already have a PowerSchool account… if you already have an account and do not need to add any students, skip to Step 3. If you already have an account, but need to add a student, Skip to Step 2.)
- Open the internet browser on your computer.
- Type or click the link https://carroll.powerschool.com/public into the address bar.
- Click on the "Create New User" Tab. (Do not click on “Sign In” when setting up the account).
- Click on the “Create Account” button in the lower right corner of the box.
- Fill in the information requested along with your desired username and password.
For each student you have, you will complete the “Link Students Account” section using the following information… - Enter your student's name. First names or nicknames are fine.
- Enter Access ID (first 5 letters of last name with first letter capitalized, followed by first 5 letters of first name with first letter capitalized, followed by 4-digit year of birth... no spaces. If first and/or last name have less than 5 letters, just use as many letters as the name contains.)
- Enter the Access Password. Each of your students’ Access Passwords will be their DOB with no leading zeros and no separators... for example, a DOB of 1/7/2008 would result in an Access Password of 172008.
- If you have multiple students, repeat steps 6 through 8 for each of your students.
- Once you have entered all student information, scroll down and click the “Enter” button in the lower right hand corner of the box.
- A verification email will be sent to the email address that you provided. Check your email and click on the verification link to complete the process (you may need to check the Spam folder also!).
Step 2: Add a student to an existing account
(Note... if you just created an account and already added all of your students, skip to Step 3)
- In your internet browser, type or click the link https://carroll.powerschool.com/public into the address bar.
- Under the “Sign In” tab, enter your username and password (if you forget your username or password, there is a link on the sign-in screen to help you)
- In the left navigation, at the bottom, select Account Preferences
- Click on the “Students” tab
- On the right side, click the “Add” button
- Follow 6-8 from Step 1 above.
Step 3: Complete Registration Enrollment forms
- In your internet browser, type or click the link https://carroll.powerschool.com/public into the address bar.
- Under the “Sign In” tab, enter your username and password (if you forget your username or password, there is a link on the sign-in screen to help you)
- Select the student you are enrolling and click on the Forms link in the left navigation menu. Once you open the first form, all of the other forms will appear as additional tabs across the top.
- Complete and submit each form, then go to the next form. When you submit some forms, you may get a yellow warning box... that's OK... it's just letting you know that what you entered is waiting for approval by school staff. If you go through the forms in order, "B13 – Application for Free or Reduced Price Meals" will be the last one you fill out.
Once the school year begins, you will be able to use your Parent Powerschool Account to monitor your student’s academic progress as well as keep track of student fees, etc.
If you have any questions, please call your school's office between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday.
