What is PowerSchool?
PowerSchool is a web-based Student Information System (SIS) that provides real-time information to school administrators, teachers, parents and students -- over the internet.
Parents can check their student's attendance and grade history by logging into PowerSchool via the Internet, using their unique Web ID and password. They can also view the school bulletin, notes and comments from teachers.
