PowerSchool

Technology has changed the ways we work, play, and communicate -- at home, in the workplace, and at school. Online access to student information and attendance information makes it easy for parents and teachers to stay in close contact regarding student progress, but it is not a replacement for student accountability. At the mid-trimester point, parents are notified to login to PowerSchool and view their child's attendance records, a list of their homeroom and specialist teachers, and progress to date.

It is important that an online system is never used to replace the skills and confidence built when students are responsible for their own assignments in their assignment notebook. The grades portal is a back up, with the primary responsibility remaining with the student to record their homework and assignments in class. Using a program developed by the Rush Neurobehavioral Center, we focus on empowering students, while building the organizational skills that are so crucial to becoming a successful young adult.

WHEN I TRY TO SIGN INTO THE APP I AM GETTING AN INVALID USER ERROR.

A: First, log into your school’s website. While you are there, double-check the district code.

If you are able to log into the website, but not the app, this may be due to a capitalization error. The website is not case sensitive in the username field, but the app is. If your school supports resetting your password via the website, you can check your username in a similar fashion. You can also check with your school to determine the correct capitalization.

To request your exact username:

  1. Navigate to your school’s web portal

  2. Click the link Forgot Username or Password?

  3. Click on the Forgot Username? tab

  4. Enter email address, and click Enter

  5. You should receive an email from your school with the correct capitalization of your username.

If you have verified the capitalization and can sign in via the website, send us an email at mobile.support@powerschool.com, noting the steps you have taken so far.
