Tips for Parents/Guardians
Don't use the PowerSchool app on a smart device
- When creating your new account for MyCBE/PowerSchool, we recommend against using the PowerSchool App on a smart device. The best option is to use either a desktop computer or, if necessary, a web browser on your phone, to access the MyCBE/PowerSchool website.
- The PowerSchool App for mobile devices is not customized for the CBE. This means users cannot use this app to access CBE's own online tools for things like paying fees or booking conferences. Again, it's best to use the website.
Refresh your browser if links don't work
- If any of the links provided during account set-up do not work, try refreshing your browser (press Ctrl and F5) or try again in another browser.
