Registration Update
We are down to 85 or so families to have completed our registration online. Contact the tech department at parentportal@tyngsboroughps.org. to finalize your registration if you are still having trouble.
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Tyngsborough Public Schools is excited to announce PowerSchool Registration, a new online platform for the yearly update of parent and student data including phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, and medical information. This process replaces the paper form that is typically sent home at the beginning of each school year.
In an effort to ensure a smooth rollout, we are first launching the platform for parents and guardians of students at the high school and middle school.
You will soon be receiving an email from powerschool@tyngsboroughps.org with instructions and a link to start the process via the PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you do not yet have a Parent Portal account, please check your mailbox for a letter sent home early last week which includes instructions for getting your account configured. If your child is entering TMS as a 6th grader this year, please note that the instructions were sent home with them on orientation day.
If you have any questions or run into any issues, please send an email to parentportal@tyngsboroughps.org.

- Costumes may not promote violence or have accessories or props that could be used as a weapon.
- Absolutely NO clown costumes will be allowed!
