     PowerSchool access and availability
    
Access to student grades and attendance records is granted to individual students and their custodial parents / guardians.  Account information is available from your school's main office.
  
Please do not contact Central Administration or the District Technology Office for parent / student accounts.  We will not give these accounts out over the phone or email, as we cannot verify your identity.  Please contact your school's office to be properly verified and receive your student's account.
    
Your student's PowerSchool account should be kept confidential and secure.
Contact your school's main office immediately if you suspect it has been compromised.

Questions regarding PowerSchool access, availability, and content should be directed to the main office of the school your child is attending.

PowerSchool is available anytime day or night.  However, there may be brief periods where access is unavailable due to routine system maintenance.  Such times usually occur either in the late afternoon (4pm-6pm) or on weekends.  Your patience is appreciated during these times.

Updates to grades and assignments are dependent on the school's policy and on individual teachers.
