PowerSchool Parent Portal – General Directions
Once issued a username and password parents/guardians can go to the Revere Public
School’s website on the internet ( http://revereps.mec.edu ) click on the Parent link,
then on the PowerSchool link. The PowerSchool Parent Portal Login Screen will then
appear (see below):
The first time you login you need to click on Create Account and complete the following
page’s information. After your account is created, you will only need to enter your
username and password in the screen above when you log in.

At the top enter your first name, last name and email address (you must enter an
email address to create an account); now enter whatever you want to use as your
username and password whenever you log into the Parent Portal in the future; enter the
password a second time to ensure it is spelled correctly. It is recommended to use a
combination of letters (upper and lower case) and numbers when creating a password; the
box to the right will change from weakest to strongest as you create a better password.
In the first box under Student Name, enter your child’s name, and then your
Access ID and Access Password given to you in the letter you received; select your
relationship to your child (mother, father, etc) and click enter. If you have another child
in the school you need to acquire the letter for that child in order to get the Access
ID and Access Password for that child; you will now have access to both of your
children under this one parent login account. This will complete creating your account
and will grant you access to your child’s/children’s information in the PowerSchool
Parent Portal. You will only need your username and password from now on to log into
the Parent Portal.

Grades and Attendance: These are the grades and attendance in the teacher’s gradebooks.
- Attendance By Class is the attendance for the previous and current week
- Expression represents the Period and Day (ex: P3(1-6) P3 = period 3 during the day;
Since our middle and high schools have a six day schedule, (1-6) represents day 1- day 6.
If a course only met on P3 for day 1 – day 3 the expression would be: P3(1-3).

teacher by simply clicking on their name (provided your email application is setup
correctly on your computer).
