PowerSchool
Muskogee Public Schools moved to a new gradebook system called PowerSchool. Parent Connect is no longer working, but soon parents will be able to log on to the new system. Parents will really be pleased with the ease of use and the amount of information contained in the PowerSchool program.
In PowerSchool parents will be able to have grade reports emailed home weekly or daily as they wish, making notification much easier. They can get on whenever they want and view their child's grades in every class and click on the teacher or subject to get a breakdown of the assignments. They can click on the teacher's name to be taken directlly to that teacher's email, so they can leave a query for the teacher. The only information lacking at the moment is lunch account information, but plans to provide that additional support are being discussed.
All in all, this Internet based program will be much easier for parents to manage. One drawback is that a parent must have a different name and password for each child in the family, but it is a minor issue compared to the increased information and the easier notification system. Rather than logging on for each child, the parent can have that email notification generated directly to their inbox, if desired.
PowerSchool is not available yet, but should be within the next week or so. Watch for information about registration in your child's school newsletter or weekly memo home. Connecting to PowerSchool gives you the power to monitor your teen's success, provide support when needed, and ensure your child keeps moving toward his/her educational goal.
For more information, just leave me a comment here and I will get back to you with the answer. Also be looking for the first parent conference day coming up in a couple of weeks.
