Find the right resource for your student:

PowerSchool gives families with students in pre-K through grade 12 easy access to class grades, attendance information and student schedules. The portal also gives you “single sign-on” access to other online services without having to create accounts specifically for those sites. The online student information tool comes in two versions: one for students and one for parents and guardians. While students get their accounts automatically, parents and guardians need to create an account.

PowerSchool Parent Portal can be accessed using a browser on a computer, phone or tablet, or by downloading the app for Apple or Android devices (use the school division’s assigned code, MXZM). For a list of current menu options see the PowerSchool Parent Portal information sheet. 

  • Please note that the app has some restrictions and does not display all menu options.

  • Note: Families can use a related online service, PowerSchool Enrollment, to start the enrollment process for new students. PowerSchool Enrollment requires a separate account from the one created by parents and guardians to access PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Schoology is HCPS’ online learning management system, and helps support “anytime, anywhere” learning. The common platform connects students, families, teachers and academic content. Sign up for a parent account to stay abreast of announcements, assignments and assessments at your child’s school.

Schoology can be accessed using a browser on a computer, phone or tablet, or by downloading the app for Apple or Android devices. Please note that the app has some restrictions and does not display all menu options.

Google Educational Services in HCPS

Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) provides Google Workspace for Education Core Services, including  Google Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Sites, and Drawings, to offer students meaningful learning and collaboration opportunities. In addition to these core services, HCPS enables a select number of Google Additional Services to enhance the educational experience further.  ​​While not every student will use these additional services, they are available to support student learning.

Below, you will find the additional Google services used in HCPS. Students may not use these services; however, they are available to enhance their learning experience if needed. Parents or caregivers provide consent to these additional services each school year through eCollect forms, ensuring they have control over their child's digital learning environment.
