Parents and guardians in Beach Park Community Consolidated School District 3 will be able to access the PowerSchool Parent Portal starting Monday, August 11, 2025. The district announced that by the end of that day, families can log in to view homeroom assignments, class schedules, bus information, and fee statements for their students.

New families to the district will receive their username and temporary password via email on August 11. The district advises checking both inboxes and spam folders for this message. Returning families can continue using their existing login credentials. Those who have forgotten their username or password are encouraged to contact their school’s main office for help.

The district reminds parents that students with incomplete or pending registration will not have access to the portal. Families uncertain about registration status or experiencing difficulties accessing the portal should reach out to the District Office.

Dr. Denise Wilcox, Superintendent of Beach Park School District 3, stated: “We encourage all families to log in as soon as the portal becomes available. The PowerSchool Parent Portal is a valuable tool for staying informed about your child’s academic experience throughout the school year.”

A new platform called My Power Hub is also set to launch soon, aiming to improve access to student information and communication tools for families.

For technical issues or questions regarding login credentials, parents are asked to contact their school’s main office.
