PowerSchool FAQ
Q:What is PowerSchool?
A: With PowerSchool, parents will be able to access vital information about their children quickly and accurately. They can see the results of tests and assignments as soon as they are recorded, enabling them to intervene quickly and communicate with teachers if necessary. It is a comprehensive student information system that will enable the Silverton School to easily manage a wealth of information online: be it grades, transcripts, report cards, assessments, or daily attendance.
Q: What can I see on the PowerSchool site?
A: Parents and students can access the following information:
• Grades for current classes, as well as the assignments that make up those grades
• Attendance for the past two weeks or for the whole quarter, including a legend of attendance codes used by the school
• Teacher comments / Discipline Log
• Reports via Email, which allow parents to request daily, weekly, or monthly reports to be sent via email
Q: How does PowerSchool help parents, students and teachers?
A: Students and parents can keep track of their grades and attendance. A student sometimes does not know he/she is in trouble in certain classes, until it is too late. Progress Reports given out in the old system, had old information by the time it got home to the parent or given to the student. Now a student knows where they stand and can do something about it before that grade goes to a report card. PowerSchool provides access to parents and guardians to enable them to communicate with teachers and monitor grades, attendance, and homework assignments in real time from home or the office or ANYWHERE there is an internet connection.
Q: What is required for a parent to connect to the PowerSchool Server?
A: Users need the following to connect:
• A computer with a connection to the Internet
• Safari, Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 5.0, Firefox 1.5 or more recent (i.e.,a browser capable of 128-bit encryption)
• A login username and password supplied by Silverton School
Q: How can I receive a login and password for all of my children?
A: Email info@silvertonschool.org with your name and your children’s names. Be sure to specify that you need PowerSchool passwords.
Q: Are Passwords case sensitive?
A: In general, no. It may depend on the browser you are using as well as the platform and operating system of the computer you are using to access the site. If all lower case does not work, we recommend that you try the login and password with the case as shown on your information sheet. For some IDs and passwords, it is hard to know whether to use 0 (zero) or O (capital o, the letter). We recommend that you try both.
Q: Can other people see my son’s/daughter’s grades?
A: As long as YOU protect your password, only you and school district employees associated with your child will be able to see your child’s grades. If for any reason you believe your ID and password have been breached, email info@silvertonschool.org requesting that the ID and password be changed by correctly submitting the current ID and Password.
Q: What do I do if I forget or lose my PowerSchool password?
A: Login ID and password is key to the security of your student’s private ACADEMIC information. If you have lost your ID or password, you will need to visit Silverton School and present photo identification to receive a new ID and password.
Q: Can I change my ID and Password?
A: It is not possible for you to change your ID and password. Keep it confidential. You should treat it as you would an ATM card or credit card.
