PowerSchool Parent Portal

Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) Parent Portal provides parents/guardians with 24-hour access to their child(ren)’s grades, attendance and demographic information. MCPS also utilizes this portal as a gateway for parents/guardians to annually update their information in its student information system. 

If you need to create an account, you will need your child(ren)’s Powerschool web ID and password which is available at your child’s school. If you need this information, please visit the school and ask for the Parent Web ID letter. Each child will have a separate web ID and password. Please follow the steps below to establish your account and access to your child(ren)’s information.
