PowerSchool Parent Access

tmcguire — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:20:55 -0400

Instructions:
http://www.sad11.k12.me.us/ps/psparent/PowerSchool.htm

PowerSchool Parent Access is open for all parents with students in grades 6-12. The intention of PowerSchool Parent Access is to provide parents, guardians, students, and teachers with a tool, which will communicate grades, attendance records, assignments, teacher comments, and school announcements on an ongoing basis.

PowerSchool is a web-based student data management system that the school district uses to administer a wide range of student information, including grades, attendance, course assignments, scheduling, demographics, and student activity data. Since PowerSchool is web-based, it can be accessed from any computer that is connected to the Internet.

Parents can view their own childs attendance and grade information through the use of the PowerSchool Parent Access application via the Internet. Each user (parent/guardian) is issued a unique username and password that will allow access to view their students information only. Parents/guardians who have more than one child in the district will have separate passwords for each child.

Parents are encouraged to give their username and password to their child so that they can view attendance and grade information.

Instruction sheets are sent via the mail to all parents and guardians on at the beginning of the school year. As soon as this information is received, parents can login to PowerSchool parent access.

Parents who need help with passwords or logging in should call the main office in the school the child attends.

PowerSchool can be accessed on the Web at:
