Relationship to the student.
The "Access ID" and "Access Password" are NOT the same as the Username and Password a student uses to access PowerSchool; they are unique identifiers that should have been provided in a correspondence from the school. If you cannot
location that information, please contact the District Registrar directly,
registrar@elkcityschools.com
