This is a reminder about the importance of keeping student demographic information current. Ensuring student records are up to date allows for accessible demographic information at all times, particularly in emergencies. Maintaining accurate student demographic information also ensures that other systems relying on this data work properly. Issues such as undelivered mail, missed phone calls, and unreceived email messages can result from outdated student information.
It is crucial to keep student information in PowerSchool updated, whether through district enrollment forms, Parent Portal Updates, or in-person communication with the school. This will ensure that students receive timely communication and support from their school and prevent any unnecessary complications. We appreciate your support and cooperation.
Using the Parent Portal Updates feature can be a time saver by reducing or eliminating the need to collect updates from families on paper form and manually entering the updated information. It offers families an easy way to input and update the information directly and notifies school staff the changes are ready to accept. For more information about how to accept and approve Parent Portal Updates, see Accepting Parent Portal Updates - for School Staff handbook.
