PARENT PORTAL

In an effort to help provide up to date information to parents and guardians regarding your Defiance City Schools' students we encourage all parents to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Via the Parent Portal account you are able to view your student's schedule, view grades and update emergency medical and emergency contact information. It is IMPERATIVE to complete this online process in order to update addresses, phone numbers, health concerns, emergency contact information, transportation requests, etc. (This electronic form replaces the paper family emergency medical form.) 
Please be aware that these forms MUST be updated every year for every student. 
NOTE: Students are not permitted to attend school field trips until their returning student registration has been completed.

If you currently have a Parent Portal account and are ready to begin updating your students' records please click Returning Student Emergency Medical and Contact Information Update.
