How can parents check grades online?
Students and parents can check grades using PowerSchool. Students log in using their student number and computer password.

To create a parent account, enter the following information:
- Name – Your first and last name
- Email – Student notifications and correspondence related to your parent account will be sent to this email
- Desired Username – Your username is your unique PowerSchool identity
- Password – Your password must be at least 6 characters long
- Student Access Information – Information for a minimum of one student, including the student name, Access ID, Access Password, and your relationship to the student
Contact your Building Secretary or Tech Support for Access ID and Access Password information.
