Chestnut Ridge School District recently updated the PowerSchool student information system. Parents and guardians are asked to log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal and verify that their student’s contact, emergency, and health information is accurate and up to date.

Access the portal at https://powerschool.crlions.org/public/. After logging in, select Forms from the left navigation menu and open the “RS [Chestnut] B - Contact Information Update” form to review and update your student’s information, including authorized pickup contacts. After completing the contact form, please also complete the health/emergency questionnaire and submit both forms.
