Returning Student Registration

Returning Student Registration

This is a reminder that returning student registration for the 2026-2027 school year opens Thursday, July 30. All returning students in grades 1-12 must be registered annually. You will use the PowerSchool Parent Portal to access PS Enrollment Registration. If you don't have a parent portal established already, look for a separate email with instructions to do so on Thursday.

⚠️ WARNING - COMMON ISSUE TO BE AWARE OF: Many parents contact us frustrated because the password reset does not work through the PowerSchool Parent mobile app. Users can NOT use the mobile app to complete registration. Users must use a web browser (e.g., Google Chrome) to reset their password, if needed, and access their parent portal for registration.

Important points of information before you get started:

  • To properly plan for your child's return to school, it is very important that we receive your registration by August 9.
  • All OCS users will need a PaySchools Central account to manage fees, lunch balances, and/or apply for free & reduced lunch. If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one. You will need your student's ID# to add them to your new account (included below student's name listed above). For more information, visit https://oregon-city-school-district.schoolblocks.com/en-US/payschools-information-70ec84e6. We strongly encourage all parents to use PaySchools Central for fee and lunch payment transactions.
    • The system is FREE for all transactions. There are no fees charged to you and you can use credit card or ACH (checking) to pay online.
  • Supply Lists: Supply lists for grades K-8 can be found at the district website: https://oregon-city-school-district.schoolblocks.com/en-US/handbooks-schedules-more-45b179c5

How do I get started?

  1. Login at: https://oregon.ps.nwoca.org/public/home.html(Common Mistake: Your email address is NOT typically your username. You are not forced to use an email address when creating a username.)
  2. Once logged into the parent portal, choose which student to register first (top left) if you have more than one attending OCS in grades 1-12.
    • Click on Returning Student Registration link (left menu)
    • Enter student’s DOB (MM/DD/YYYY format)
    • Repeat for any additional students
  3. Pay school fees OR apply for free & reduced status at https://payschoolscentral.com/

TIP: For best results, use Google Chrome as your browser. You can also use a tablet or smartphone, but a computer provides a more user-friendly experience. You can NOT use the PowerSchool Parent App to complete this process. Users must log in to the portal via a web browser.

FAQs:

I can’t remember my password for the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Click the "Forgot Username or Password?" link. If you know BOTH your Username and Email Address originally USED TO CREATE YOUR PORTAL years ago, simply enter both and it will email you a password reset. If you don't know your Username, click the "Forgot Username?" tab and enter your email address to get that sent to you first. Then complete the previous step. Be patient, as it typically takes 2-5 minutes to receive the emails.

If you aren’t able to retrieve your login credentials using the "Forgot Username or Password?" link on the Sign In page, please call 419-693-0661 for assistance logging in to the Parent Portal, or email PowerSchoolParentPortal@oregoncs.org (be sure to provide your name, your student's name, and grade level to expedite service).

Password Reset Requirements:

New passwords must:

  • Be at least 8 characters long
  • Include one uppercase letter
  • Include one lowercase letter
  • Include one number
  • Include one special character
  • Not be a well-known password

Do I have to answer all the questions?

Questions marked as Required must be filled in.

What if I make a mistake?

If you would like to make a change prior to submitting the form, you can navigate back to the page to make edits. If you have already submitted the form, you will need to contact your student’s school so they can make the changes for you.

I’ve completed the form, now what?

When you reach the Summary page, it will display a green circle with a checkmark for each page you have successfully completed. If any pages display a number highlighted in red, click on that number to be taken back to the field needing attention. Once you have finished updating your information, click "Submit." This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, make sure that you have answered all required questions. You will see a Confirmation when you have completed the process.

What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?

Yes, because you’ll need to provide information specific to each child. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another—this will allow you to copy selected family information, which saves you time.

I do not have access to a computer to complete registration.

We have computers available at the Administration Building (5721 Seaman Rd, Oregon) for those who do not have access to a computer elsewhere. Access to these computers is on a first-come, first-served basis. The Administration Building is open from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday – Friday, beginning Monday, August 3. The building is closed on Friday, July 31.

How do I add a new student (e.g., kindergarten student) to my existing PS Parent Portal account which has older siblings attached already?

  1. Log in to your existing parent portal at https://oregon.ps.nwoca.org/public/home.html
  2. Click the Account Preferences link in the left menu
  3. Click the Students tab
