Initial SNAP Sign up Information
Introduction
The East Penn School District has elected to use the SNAP Health Portal to better connect you and your student’s nurse to improve management for your child’s school health and wellness information. Your student’s nurse is the only EPSD employee who will see this information you provide, unless you direct otherwise.
This web-based system directly linked within the PowerSchool platform provides a convenient and secure way for you to update and review important school health
information and medical documents throughout the year.
With 24-hour access over the web, you will be able to:
- Electronically sign and submit all health forms safely over the internet
- Review and update new health information such as vaccinations, health conditions, and screening results throughout the school year
- Easily message the school nurse to expedite communication
1. At the end of August, when the SNAP Health Portal goes live, you will receive a welcome email directly from the following email address, noreply@studentehr.com. Because we require health information to be in a secure environment, each parent will have a unique username and password.
- To log in, enter your user name and provided password.
- Change your password.
- You will be asked to confirm via using one of your children’s birth dates.
2. You may also log in through PowerSchool through the SNAP Health Portal Link in the upper right hand corner of Powerschool. You will be asked to confirm one of your
student’s birth dates prior to obtaining access.
The information in the Health Portal that you willbe asked to review and/or edit, will ONLY be visible to your student’s school nurse.
Once logged on, you will land on this page:
*At the top or this page, there is the ability to choose your language.
To the right of the language choice will be your child’s name. If you have more than one child, you will need to click on each child’s name to review/edit their information.
Next to the child icon is a bell, which will display notifications for you.
Lastly, the profile icon at the right allows parent to change account settings and notifications and switch to staff access if they are also a staff member or log out.

Alerts and Conditions
Important:
Please be aware that the SNAP Health Portal does not display any conditions already marked confidential by the nurse; therefore, you may not see some of your student’s conditions displayed. This includes mental and behavioral health conditions. To be sure that the nurse is aware of all conditions, please re-add all conditions.
