Password Help
Parent password recovery
Choose the account you need to recover: parent, student or staff. The routes are different. This independent guide cannot access or reset school accounts.
Forgot your parent portal password?
Open parent password recovery
On the parent sign-in page, select Forgot Password. The official password-recovery page is another way to reach the email form.
Enter the registered email
Use the full email address for your parent account. This request is for the parent login, not a student ID or the child’s school email.
Follow the email instructions
Check that inbox, including its spam or junk folder, for the recovery message. Follow the instructions there, then return to the official parent portal to sign in.
No email, or no access to the old inbox?
First check that you entered the email used to register. If you cannot identify or use that inbox, contact your child’s school. Focus also lists [email protected] and 813-320-8817 for parent portal assistance. Updating the username email requires support; creating a duplicate account may leave you without the existing child links.
Follow the official parent portal help for account-specific assistance. There is no fixed recovery time promised here.
School Accounts
Student and staff access
Students: recover your school sign-in
Ask your teacher for help. A parent or guardian can also sign in to their myStudent account to retrieve your MyPascoConnect username and password, as described on the district’s sign-in screen. If those details do not work, ask the school to check the account.
Recovering the parent account by email does not reset the student account. Once you have the correct details, follow the student sign-in guide.
Teachers and staff
If you do not know your username or cannot remember your password, the district’s sign-in page directs staff to the tech help desk at 813-794-2859. Use that route for a forgotten school password.
An Update Password form that asks for an old password is a change-password flow. It will not solve a forgotten password if you cannot supply the old one.

Recovery Questions
Password recovery FAQ
Can a parent reset the student’s password here?
No. This site has no account access. A parent can look up the child’s sign-in details through myStudent; ask the school if a change or reset is needed.
Why does password recovery reject my email?
Check that it is the full email address used for the parent account. If you are trying to recover a student or staff account, use the separate instructions above. If the parent email still cannot be matched, contact the school or parent support.
How long should I wait for a reset?
Email delivery and support response times vary. Check spam or junk and the address you entered. If you cannot receive the message, use the school or parent-support route rather than repeatedly guessing passwords.
My account says it is locked. What now?
Stop retrying and ask your school or the appropriate support team to check it. Follow any instructions shown on the official login screen; there is no universal unlock waiting time for all of these accounts.
