If desired, multiple parents/guardians can link a student to their PowerSchool Parent Portal account using the same student Access ID and Access Password.
Completing New Registration Forms:
-
- To access the registration forms, first log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal with your parent/guardian access account.
- Once logged in, select “Forms'' from the navigation menu on the lefthand side of your screen. This will bring you to a new page that lists all available forms for your selected student. The only forms you need to complete for a new student are in the “General Forms'' tab, listed in blue under the title “New EWSD Enrollment”. You do not need to fill out any other forms in any other tabs.
- Complete each of the forms listed under “New EWSD Enrollment,” beginning with “1) Student Information.” After each section, please click the Submit button to save your data and advance to the next section. If the form submission was successful, a pop-up window will open thanking you for the submission.
- Save vs. Submit: Along with the Submit button is the Save button. Use the Save button if you aren’t ready to Submit the form to the school yet but do not want to re-enter information already filled out. It is recommended that you Save a form if you must step away from your computer, as PowerSchool may log you out for inactivity. The Save feature is only available for forms that you have not Submitted yet.
- When to Save:
- You need to step away from the computer.
- You do not have all the required information but have filled out some of the information.
- When to Submit:
- You are ready to send the form to the school/district.
- Uploading Documents: Required enrollment documents are listed at https://www.ewsd.org/Page/2587. They can be uploaded to the electronic forms as pictures or PDFs, or you can contact your new school’s registrar to discuss bringing in physical copies.
- Former EWSD Students: If your student has previously attended one of our district schools, you may see that some fields on the forms are pre-populated. Please check this data for accuracy and make any necessary corrections. Note: If there has been a change of the student's name or physical address since they last were in district, we will need supporting documentation uploaded or brought to your student's school before the registration/update is considered complete.
- You can check the status of your registration process at any time from the Forms screen in PowerSchool. There is a progress bar for all enrollment forms listed to the far right of the Forms screen.
- Each form also has a colored leaf next to it, indicating its status. The dark blue leaf means “Empty” because you have not yet submitted any information. A green leaf means that you have saved some or all the required information.
Final Review Process: Once you have submitted all of your forms, your new school’s registrar will review the information that you have provided. This is so that registrars can ensure the data is correct before it enters our PowerSchool system. Registrars will finish their review within a week and may reach out to you during that time to confirm or adjust information. From this point onwards, the registrar will be your point of contact if you have any further questions or need support for your new student.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
-
What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “Prev” to return to a previous page.
-
I’ve completed the form, now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.
-
Do I have to submit all forms included in my Registration Package?
Yes, even if you didn’t change any information that was pre-populated for your student on the form, you still need to press the Submit button. You will be receiving reminders from EWSD until all forms are submitted.
-
What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one form and then start another – this will allow you to “snap over” shared family information, which will save you time.

I don’t understand the question on a form.
