How To Access Student Verification Forms
Parents are asked by schools to confirm and update their student(s) demographic information in the Student Information System via the Parent Portal.
Sign Into Parent Portal Account
At the Wellington Catholic District School Board (wellingtoncdsb.ca) website, click on Parent Resources; Click Parent Portal, Click PowerSchool Parent Portal
You will be taken to the Parent Portal Sign In page. If you do not yet have a Parent Portal Account, create one using the information sent to you by the school which includes your student’s Access ID and Access Password which are required to set up the account. Once your account has been created, you can login using the Username and Password that you created.
Adding a Student
If you did not add all Students in your family during account creation, click Account Preferences in the Navigation menu, click the Students tab, and click the Add button. You will need the Access ID and Password for each student that you add which should have been sent to you by the school.
Verify Student Information
Click on the student you would like to verify at the top banner of the page. On the side Menu, Click Forms
Click the General Forms tab. You will be presented with 7 different forms that contain the demographics information currently on file for your student in our Student Information System at the school.
When you click on any of the required forms, you will be taken to that form to verify the information that the school has on file for your student and edit if required. All forms will show as tabs on the top of the screen.
As you verify each form, click “Submit” at the bottom of the page and the school will be alerted that your forms have been completed. If you have more than one student registered to you, you can click on “Submit for Family” on some screens, which opens up by clicking the dropdown arrow beside the “Submit” button. The students who are associated to your account are listed at the top of the page. If you click “Submit For Family”, the information for all students listed will be updated. The “Submit for Family” option is not available on all forms as some forms are specific to a particular student.
Any information that you edit will show a red flag. The school will review and reach out for clarification or documentation if required before the information is allowed to overwrite what is currently in the system. You will not be able to edit Legal name or Birthdate as legal documentation must be provided to make this change. Please contact your school secretary to make this change and any changes to Parent/Guardian names.
If you forget your username and/or password, click “Forgot Username and Password”. The recovery email will be sent to whatever email you used to set up your account originally.
