When will parents get their passwords for grades 6-12?

Answer: Parents of students in grades 6-12 can get their logins and passwords starting the week of January 25, 2010 from the office where their student is enrolled. Usernames and passwords will be available in the school office or mailed home to the parents. The parent portal will not be available to students in Grades K-5 at the time.

What is PowerSchool?

Answer: PowerSchool is a student information system that allows us to manage a wide range of information, including the following: grades, attendance, tests, demographics, activities, courses, and photos. Because the program has been designed using Internet-based software tools, it also allows us to connect parents and students to information.

How does attendance work in PowerSchool?

Answer: Attendance is posted by teachers and by the office. All teachers assign and post grades to PowerSchool at different times. Some may give grades to their students’ everyday and some may give far fewer grades during the marking periods. This is up to each teacher and depends upon their grading system. If you see grades in PowerSchool for some teachers but not others, this is a normal function of the way teachers assign and post grades. As always you may contact teachers by e-mail or request a phone call or meeting at any time.

Is the password in a password case sensitive?

Answer: In most cases the login information is not case sensitive. However, if using all lowercase does not work, try the login and password with the case as shown in your letter. Please note that no vowels are used in passwords, so if the letter looks like the letter O, it is actually a zero.
