Posted on 09/30/2022 at 13:55

Effective Monday, October 3, 2022, the Annual Parent Authorization page will be updated to reflect the 2022-23 Universal Form found in the Facts for Parents handbook. Schools should plan on updating this information in PowerSchool each school year, using a signed copy of the form. This year’s form has text revisions and a new question under Technology/Network. For sites that have started to enter information for this year, please go back and submit a response to the new question under the Technology/Network section. Please retain the signed copy of the Universal Form with student records on site.
