A couple notes for parents:

- We still have 27 students without Parent PowerSchool accounts. These accounts can be used to check your child's attendance, make payments online, and, new this school year, sign permission forms. No paper copies will be available.

 

The office can provide you with the Access ID & Password required to start an account or to Add a Student to your existing account.

 

**Note: The PowerSchool App should not be used for elementary students.

 

 

- The Returning Student Registration form must be completed for ALL students. If you have not done so already, please log in to your PowerSchool account and complete this process. Reminders will be sent out every couple days until all outstanding forms have been completed. There are currently 88 outstanding registration forms.
