Signing in as a parent or guardian

You sign in to Tidal PTC with the same account you use for your school’s PowerSchool parent portal. You can start from the parent portal itself or from the Tidal PTC address your school gave you. Once you are in, you see your children and their teachers on one page.

Parents, guardians and other family contacts who want to book a conference with a teacher.

  • You need a PowerSchool parent portal account. Your account comes from the school’s records, so you do not need to sign up.
  • Some schools ask for a four-character District code first. If you see that box, type the code the school gave you and select Continue.
