Connecting to PowerSchool

Thank you for your patience as we shifted from Tyler to PowerSchool.

We're excited to connect you to your child(ren)'s information, and we need your help to make sure information for your family is correct in the new system.

We've created accounts for you in PowerSchool.

Families will need to complete two steps:

• ✔️ Step 1: Connect to your PowerSchool account for the first time and create a new password
• ✔️ Step 2: Review & update information by completing the "Back to School Update" for each child enrolled in our schools

Scroll down for a step-by-step guide. Please use a laptop or desktop computer.

Do not use the PowerSchool smart phone mobile app. This has not been configured for Kuna School District and will not work.

We have set up a temporary helpline for families that can be reached at 208-472-9710. if you don't reach a person, please leave a message and we will return the call.
