Home Base and PowerSchool Portals
-
Home Base is a collection of instructional apps used by North Carolina Public Schools, which includes PowerSchool. The PowerSchool Parent/Student Portals give parents and students access to real-time information including attendance, grades and assignments. In CHCCS, this option is available to all parents and students.With PowerSchool, everyone stays connected: Students stay on top of assignments, parents are able to participate in their child's progress, and teachers can instantly share information from their gradebook with parents and students. Families with multiple students can also set up their accounts to view all of their students at one time, with one login.

Step 3. Create a Parent Portal account.
Use the information you received in your letter to create your Parent Portal account. For help creating an account, download directions (links below). When you are ready, you can create an account here: chccs.powerschool.com/public.

Step 4. Link your children to your account.
A single Parent Portal account can be linked to multiple children. Once you’ve created your Parent Portal account, use the access ID and password provided on the letter from the school to view your child’s data. You will need a letter from the school data manager for each child you wish to add. Does your access ID and password still not work? Make sure you’ve created your Parent Portal account first. Still having issues? Download and read the directions.
