We encourage each family to reserve some time within the school week to have an academic conversation with your son or daughter. This week’s academic conversation, “How effectively do we use PowerSchool?” Students have a PowerSchool account, Parents have a PowerSchool account and teachers have a PowerSchool account. The purpose of PowerSchool is to enhance communication between all three groups. Take some time to share with each other the benefits that checking PowerSchool can have on monitoring academic progress. Do you use PowerSchool to review all completed assignments, review all the grades that have been earned, and double check to make sure that you are doing everything that is required of you to get a C or better in each course. PowerSchool can also be used to verify attendance. If you find your son or daughter is receiving a sub-par grade, take time to review each course syllabi, make sure that all expectations presented by the teacher are being met. If you find that you have concerns regarding the course syllabus or need further clarification on specifics courses, please reach out to individual teachers.
