PowerSchool Information
Online module trainings are accessible to offer comprehensive distant learning on various components of the system. There is a matrix provided on our website to use for identification of modules that apply to your specific assignment (i.e. administrator, teacher, school counselor, school nurse). A PowerSource account was created for all current personnel earlier this spring. There is a link on the website that will assist you in activating your PowerSource account if you have not already done so. Your username is your school email address. If you have forgotten your password or not created your account, hit “forgot password”. It then will prompt – “you have not activated your account yet” – click on the send activate account e-mail again and you should be able to log in. Once logged in you may access the modules by clicking on the training tab, followed by distance learning. These modules will hopefully provide you with an introduction to the various PowerSchool components. You may receive staff development credit and comp time for completing your specified modules. Please print all certificates and turn-in to your principal.
If you have any questions regarding any of the information, please feel free to contact us at the central office.
