Did you sign up for e-mail notifications using an AOL account?

Parents,

We seem to be narrowing down the "lost" e-mail notifications to mainly AOL users. At present, AOL seems to see the notifications as SPAM. You might want to go into your filter or call AOL to let them know you need to allow mail from the address powerschool.diometuchen.org or even diometuchen.org.

This should help with e-mail notifications.

As the end of this school year nears...

Parents,

During the third week of June all e-mail notifications and access to PowerSchool will be turned off for the summer. Access for parents will resume starting the first few days of school in September. The system is turned off for a good part of July to make adjustments and promote the students. Once those items are completed then the process of adding the students to the correct teachers and classes begins in August.

Have a wonderful summer with your family,
Sincerely,
Dr. Adele Ellis
Assistant Superintendent of Technology
Diocese of Metuchen

Would you like to have your child's assignments added to your Google calendar?

Parents,

Some of you want to use the iCal feature in PowerSchool to add assignments to a calendar. This system at present is not working effectively with Outlook calendar, however, there is a way to have it work with Google Calendar.

I've attached a link to a You Tube video that is a little more than 2 minutes long that shows and explains the process.

Watch the video from this web address:

Are you having a problem receiving your e-mail notifications?

Some parents have reported not receiving e-mail notifications recently. We are trying to find the problem. If you have received e-mail notices in the past and are not receiving them now, please e-mail me at aellis@diometuchen.org and let me know your child's name, school, and how frequently you were receiving the e-mails in the past.

Thank you as we try to work through this issue.

Did you know you can e-mail the teacher through PowerSchool?

Parents,

If you have a question or concern regarding your child's grades you can send an e-mail to the teacher through the PowerSchool program. Once you log onto your child's account, click on the blue name link under the course name. This will open Microsoft Outlook Word Editor to allow you to type an e-mail. Once you are done click send and the teacher will be able to respond to your e-mail.

If you do not see the teacher's name in a blue link under the course name, please contact the school.
