Powerschool


Students are more likely to succeed when their parents are engaged in their education. This fact is even more important to consider in hybrid learning environments, where students are participating in both in-person and remote learning. Active and engaged parents make for active and engaged students who complete their schoolwork, go to class, and ultimately learn more.  

Parents significantly impact their child’s learning and educational experience when they take an active role in monitoring their progress, assignments, attendance, activities, and events. Parent involvement helps keep students on track, which results in better attendance, fewer missed assignments, improved test scores, and increased grade point averages.Please scroll to learn more about the Parent Portal.
