Report Cards
As a reminder,
student report cards are available online only in the
PowerSchool Parent Access Portal. To access your child's report
card online, log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal and you will see a Report
Cards icon in the left hand pane. When you click on this icon your
child's report card will appear on the screen. You can scroll to see the
entire report card and choose to print it, if you'd like. If you’d like a printed
report card, please print it prior to July 1st, as it will not be
available after we do roll over (some time in July).
Anytime you click on the Report Cards icon, the most recent report card will generate. Quarter 4 report cards will be available to view on Monday, June 19th at 12:45 PM.
