PowerSchool Frequently Asked Questions

What is PowerSchool?
PowerSchool is a student information system that manages a wide range of information, including grades, attendance, tests, demographics, activities, courses, and photos. Because the program has been designed using Internet-based software tools, it connects parents and students to a large variety of information.
Will report cards still be printed by the school district?
Yes. If a parent would like a printed report card, they must fill out an Opt Out form and submit it to the Computer Department each academic year. The form can be obtained from the Guidance Department or Main Office of your child's school.
Whom should I call if I have a question?
Please contact the appropriate department using the table below:

Do all teachers post grade and attendance information to the PowerSchool server?
Attendance is posted by teachers and by the attendance office. Secondary teachers assign and post attendance to PowerSchool at different times throughout the day. For elementary schools, attendance is taken first thing in the morning. As always, feel free to contact the attendance office at any time.
How often can we expect grades to be updated?
Grades are updated by the classroom teacher to the Gradebook daily for secondary students. For elementary students, grades are updated based on the dates specified in the district calendar.
How often can we expect attendance to be updated?
At the High Schools and Middle Schools, teachers do their best to record attendance by the end of every period. However, teachers that instruct in multiple classrooms, in the gym, or outdoors, may record attendance for multiple periods at one time. At the elementary schools, attendance is done first thing in the morning.

The attendance office may modify attendance codes as they receive information from parents throughout the school day.
Do all teachers use the same grading scales?
NO. Grade scales are based on the courses that your child is enrolled in. District grade scales consist of: Numeric, College Credit, AP, Accelerated, Pass/Fail. All teachers share the grade scales as well as other class policy information with their students at the beginning of each course.
I know that teachers sometimes weight different categories of grades. How does this affect how a grade is calculated?
Many teachers use categories such as tests, quizzes, daily work to organize and give different weights to grades; how they weight them is an individual decision. Teachers share with students how they grade at the beginning of each course.
