What an awesome week we just had to start the school year! I hope each of you are enjoying the extended weekend celebrating Labor Day. We look forward to seeing students return on Tuesday.
Please remember that school starts at 9:15. If you are driving your student, or if your student is walking to school, they should prepare to arrive by 9:10 in order to get to their class on time.
Our students have a done a great job this past week as we are now fully upholding the school policies that have been continuously shared with them. Please take a moment to review the policies within the blog. Sweeps, dress expectations, and the cell phone/electronics policy are the three top ones we need your help with.
Parent/student information access
Great news! You can update your student information directly through the PowerSchool Parent Portal! Using a new feature called Forms, parents and guardians can make changes to their contact information and medical alerts, provide an absence notice in the event of a student absence, and submit other required paperwork. PowerSchool Parent Portal also gives you access to grades, assignments and attendance information, right from your phone or computer.
Log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal Account to begin the process. If you need help setting up a Parent Portal account, contact your school’s data manager. Thank you and have a good evening.
Families can access PowerSchool at any time from their phone, tablet, or desktop computer.
· Families will be able to update contact information as it changes.
· To gain access to forms, Parents must create a Parent Portal.
· All address changes must go through the SchoolMint Registration Address Change Process; All address changes should be processed through our Online Enrollment System.
