The Source
The Source for Student Information
The Source is Seattle Public Schools’ online communication tool that allows parents, guardians and students access to schedules, attendance, assessment scores, and more.
Parent/Guardian Source Account Setup
To setup a Parent/Guardian Source account:
- You must be a parent or guardian of a student currently attending Seattle Public Schools.
- Your valid email address must be on record for each SPS student.
Parent and guardian Source accounts display attendance, assessment scores, Elementary Progress Reports, Secondary Performance Reports, secondary student assignment scores, SchoolPay, Schoology Access Codes and other information.
How do students access the Source?
Students actively enrolled in SPS will receive a username and password from their school. If your student does not know their username, needs a password reset, or help logging in, contact a teacher or the school librarian.
Reminder: Students do not include “@xlqx.net” when logging in to the Source. Example: 1student
Linking a Student to a Parent/Guardian Account
Students are linked to your Source account when the Parent/Guardian check box is selected and your email address is identical on each student’s school Demographics record. If you have a Source account, but a student is missing, contact the school to update your email address and confirm the Parent/Guardian box is selected.
Approximately 30 minutes after information is updated, clear the cache on your browser, close, reopen and log in. The student should appear on your account.
For assistance, please contact sourcesupport@xlqx.net.
How to Update Parent/Guardian Source Username
Parent and guardian Source usernames are linked to the email address on record at each student’s school. To change or update your email address, contact the main office at each student’s school and provide the following information:
- Your full name and relationship to the student
- The email address you wish to use
- Student’s full name
- Student’s 7 digit Seattle Schools student ID#
Allow 30 minutes for the change to sync with the Source, then set up your account with the new email address.
Elementary Progress Reports and Secondary Performance Reports
Elementary Progress Reports and Secondary Performance Reports are found on parent and guardian Source accounts only. If you are logging in with your student’s school account that begins with 1 and ends with @xlqx.net you will not see this information.
Log in and locate Elementary Progress Reports or Secondary Performance Reports:
- Log in to the Source.
- If you have more than one student, select the name of student under the Source logo at the top-left of the screen.
- Select Performance and Progress Reports.
- Click the PDF link to download and save.
If you have trouble, clear the cache on your browser, close and reopen TWICE and try again. Or try a different browser.
