    • Access homework assignments
    • Track progress during the quarter
    • View grades and credits

    Benefits for parents:

    • Access up-to-date student performance data
    • Track assignments and attendance
    • Read daily bulletins
    • Receive email reports

    Password Not Working?

    PowerSchool is very easy to use. The only common problem usually encountered is passwords sometimes do not appear to work ("invalid password"). However, what is really causing the problem is that you must install the most recent version of your web browser and make sure Javascript is enabled. This solves 99% of the problems.

    Tips

    Teachers update their grades on different schedules, so grades will most likely not change every day. Check to see when the report was last updated to understand what has been included in the grade.

    Commonly used codes:

    • NHI = not handed in, 0 grade (does impact grade)
    • EX = excused (doesn't impact grade)
    • () = grade not yet entered (doesn't impact grade)
    • Attendance: A = absent, T = tardy
