teacher by clicking on the teacher’s name in blue. Access attendance detail by clicking on the

blue Attendance Total number.

5.Access grade details by clicking on the “Grades” icon at the top of the screen. This shows the

Content Skills and Knowledge grades for the current six week period. A “0″ probably means that

no grades have been entered for the current six weeks. Clicking the blue “Stored” takes you to

the Content Skills and Knowledge grades for the previous six week periods.

6.On the same page as the current Content Skills and Knowledge grades is access to Non-

Academic and Homework grades. Click on “Expand All” located just under “Non-Academic and

Homework”. The screen then shows a long column listing all Middle School courses divided into

two areas: Homework/Classwork followed by Non-Academic. By clicking on the blue course

your child is taking, you access a screen that shows the homework grade for the year to date. By

clicking “Stored”, you see the homework grades for the current six weeks (CG) and the previous

six weeks. Follow the same process for Non-Academic.

7.Other: Click “Email Notification”: This screen allows you to select information of your choice

via email. Click “School Bulletin”: This screen shows daily school announcements and

information.

8. When you click on anything blue, more detail about that blue item is provided.

If you have more than one student, you must log out of PowerSchool after viewing one child, and

then re-enter PowerSchool using the name and password of the second child. The system

recognizes each student separately and distinctly.

Remember: when you view attendance and grades, they are a snapshot in time!!! Five

minutes after you view grades, for example, the teacher may enter a new grade or change an

existing one for any number of reasons. Also, you may see a student marked as unexcused for

an absence because the note you sent hasn’t yet been processed. Please be understanding that

what you see is a work in progress.
