Link It Parent Accounts
Currently, 2021-2022 benchmark data from the fall is now available, as well as historical assessment data, if that applies to your child/children. We currently have 30% of our families who have set up accounts and we have a building goal of 60%. If you haven't created an account, please follow the steps below!
For parents/guardians of previously enrolled students:
Please login to your Parent Portal account, using your email address and your self-selected password, assuming you previously set up an account.
If you know you previously set up an account but do not remember the password, please click the Parent Portal account link and under the login area select “lost password.” There you will enter your email address and will be sent a link to reset your password.
If you do not believe you have an account and your child(ren) are not newly registered in our district, or if you are missing students from your account once logged in, please submit a response to QCSD via this form.
For parents/guardians of new students/kindergarteners:
You will receive an email directly from LinkIt! to set up your account in the next 24 hours. The email address on file in Powerschool is the email address used to create the new parent portal account. Please check your SPAM/junk if you do not receive it.
QCSD will support initial setup, but password support is done directly through the LinkIt! website. Once you successfully login, you will be able to access your student’s data and scores. Information about the LinkIt! Parent Portal can be found on the QCSD website.
Once you successfully register for your account, you will use https://qcsd.linkit.com/parent to access your student(s) LinkIt! Reports.
To learn more about LinkIt!, please use a few of the resources found below.
