South Elementary

A friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Mon., Sept. 2 - Labor Day, Mon., Sept. 9 - Fair Day, and Tues., Sept. 10 for students - Teacher PD Day! Please make a note of this!!

We are working with PowerSchool Support to resolve the issue of grades and attendance not getting populated in Parent Portal for students and parents. We will stay on top of this and hopefully have this fix as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter.

It's CRUNCH TIME for back to school! Time to get money on account for meals and complete a Free/Reduced meal application! Our district uses PaySchools Central for online meal payments which was new at the end of last school year. If you haven't set up an account yet or are new to the district now is a great time to get that done! And while you are there, complete an online Free/Reduced Meal Application for this school year, 24/25. Only one per family and it is secure and confidential! See attached document on PaySchools Central for more information. Thank you for choosing school meals!

Mark your calendars...

All student Chromebooks have been activated/enabled for the start of the 2024-2025 school year.  You will need to connect the Chromebook to a Wi-Fi connection somewhere before the disabled message will go away on the login screen, as the unlock command/policy is "in the cloud".  After this, please attempt to log in to make sure the Chromebook is working properly.  If you have any issues, please bring the Chromebook to the high school (where the I.T. office is located) BEFORE the first day of school so we can take care of your issue(s). If a student has forgotten their login password, email me requesting a password refresh (daryl_h@usevs.org).

We have open positions in many areas! Join the team! https://www.usevs.org/documents/employment/job-postings/269013

In case you do not have a copy of the 2024-2025 school calendar! GO RAMS!

According to PowerSchool, we should be good to go with Parent Portal access. They said parental usernames and/or passwords should NOT change or be wiped during the "End of Year" process (when the server goes from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025). So, if a parent(s) cannot log in, the first thing to do is click the "Forgot Password" link and request a new password. That password reset email can take up to 10 minutes to be delivered. This process is always much easier when using a traditional desktop or laptop computer versus a smartphone. Parents/students should click on the "State Assessments" tab on the left menu within the parent portal to view state test results. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve the login issue.

We are working with PowerSchool Support on an ongoing issue with PowerSchool Parent Portal and problems related to logging in/passwords, etc. Please do NOT attempt to log in until we can get this resolved. We will send out another email once this issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!

Here is the official 2024-2025 School Calendar in case you missed it being posted earlier. Any questions, call the Central Office at 419-294-2306.
