POWERSCHOOL for Parents

Monday, 15 September 2008
 

As of today, all parents that have completed the PowerSchool Online Enrollment Form should be able to assess their child(ren)’s online information. The username will be your child’s legal first name followed by their last name; i.e., Joseph (Joe) Smith = josephsmith. I have used your suggested password. Please make a note that all usernames and passwords are lowercase letter. It is case sensitive, so make sure you type them in lowercase. Also, there were no spaces or symbols used; so if your suggested password contained symbols (!,-,.&), please eliminate them.

I have noticed that occasionally, the first login attempt fails. You may need to enter your username and password twice to gain access. If after two attempts you cannot log in, please send a note to the front office stating that you cannot log in and I confirm i) your username and password; ii) online enrollment form was signed/turned in. 

Also, please disregard the balance ($) and lunch sections of PowerSchool. We are not yet using these functions. If you chose to look under these sections, you will see that for the balance ($) section, it shows no tuition payments made (we know we have all been paying tuition) and the lunch section will show that you child did not eat lunch (all children eat lunch, every day, no exceptions). We are in hopes that we will be able to utilize these functions and we will let you know when we start.

As for the grades and attendance, PowerSchool was down on and off for the first few weeks of school due to upgrades to the main program. All grades and attendance records have not yet been inputted. By the end of September, all grades and attendance records will be inputted and accurate.  

Please be patient with us as this is our first year using Online PowerSchool for parents. We will be working out the kinks with you. Also, please do not call the office to let us know that PowerSchool is down or is not responding. If it is not working for you, it is not working for us.

If you have any questions, please either call the office and speak to Amy or send a note into the front office. Remember, I will not give you your usernames/passwords over the phone. You will need to send a note into the office for usernames/passwords. If you did not give me a suggested password, please send a note to the office and I will let you know the password assigned to you.
