Parent Portal Processes

Overview: This is a quick guide to getting setup on the Parent Portal so you can access the student grades from home anytime.

Accessing the Parent Portal: The IMPACT Parent can be accessed via the website. The IMPACT Parent portal may also be accessed from the Phoenix Military Academy website via the Parent Portal Tab on the left hand side. Below are steps to Register and to Obtain your PIN

Step One: The Account Registration Process

To begin registration, parents can use the Parent Portal button at https://parent.cps.k12.il.us/pc/ParentSignup.aspx?DistrictID=3000005 to create an account.

Registration Process

At the first screen, parents can create a username and password of their choosing after providing some basic contact information:

• First Name,
• Last Name,
• Address,
• Zip Code,
• and City.

We recommend that parents with e-mail accounts also provide at least one valid e-mail address so that they can receive password confirmation if they forget their password. This completes the first step in the process. Once parents have created their accounts, they must sign in and add a student to their account.

Step Two: Obtain PIN information

In order to access a student record, parents must use a personal identification number (PIN) to link to their student. The PIN is a randomly generated number. This PIN will be unique to each student to ensure the security of students' information. *PIN numbers can be obtained by calling the Phoenix Main Office and asking for clerk Rosie Gonzalez and providing the student name and ID number.

Step Three: Parent Login

Once the PIN is obtained, parents will log in to the portal using the credentials (log-in and password) established in step one. After login, parents complete an online form that requires them to enter each student's CPS ID number in addition to the randomly generated PIN (step two) to confirm the match. This will create a link between the parent’s account and the student’s record in Gradebook. Once the link is in place, the parent can view grades, assignments, report cards, attendance history, and any “public” notes entered by the teacher.

What is the process for password reset?

1. 1. Gradebook has a feature that allows parents to click a "Forgot Password" link from the initial login screen. If the parent provided an e-mail address during initial registration, the password will be e-mailed to them once this button is clicked.
2. 2. Call PMA and leave a message with a return telephone number and someone will contact you to reset your password. You may also email the Tech Coordinator, Mr. Surina with the request. Mr. Surina .
