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.
