ATTENTION: Parent Forms
In order for your student(s) to start school, a parent/guardian in Household 1 is required to fill out Parent Forms for their student(s) every school year through the PowerSchool SIS: Parents tile in the my.cherrycreekschools.org Parent Portal. Parent Forms include updating and verifying any medical needs your student(s) might have, emergency contacts, accepting district policies, and more. This information is critical in communicating with you as a parent/guardian and with providing support to your student(s). These forms will be available starting July 5.
- Log in to my.cherrycreekschools.org with your e-mail address and password.
- If you do not remember your password, enter your e-mail address, click "Go" and then click the "Forgot password?" link to reset your password.
- *Select the "PowerSchool SIS: Parents" tile.
- You will be directed to PowerSchool and will see the name of your student(s) at the top. On the left menu, scroll to the bottom and click "Parent Forms.
- Once you fill out and submit Parent Forms, the form will be final. Please pay attention as you fill out these forms.

» Please access helpful guides for more detailed instructions on filling out Parent Forms.
ATTENTION: Chromebook User Agreement Form
The other important form that needs to be completed is a our CCA Chromebook User Agreement Form. This form is a Cherry Creek Academy form that you will not find in the CCSD portal. Because we are a 1:1 School (meaning that every child has their own personal Chromebook to use for the full year, we require parents to fill out the Chromebook Usage Agreement Form 2023-2024
This form must be completed in order for your child to receive their Chromebook in August.- The Chromebook Handbook can be found here.
