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.

Upgrade scheduled for March 31st
An important upgrade is set for Tuesday, March 31st at 3 pm. This upgrade will fix a few issues that are important in all areas of PowerSchool. For parents, this upgrade will allow you to see collected or checkmarks in your child's account as well as a late or missing icon if the teacher has assigned these symbols.
PowerSchool should be down no more than a few hours. If you try to sign on the program at any time after 3 pm and can not get on, please try again in an hour.

Coming Soon - Seeing checkmarks, late notices and missing on the parent side
Parents,
Teachers have had the ability all year to make little marks in the gradebook that they can see - a checkmark to let them know a student handed in an assignment (usually those not graded within a week), a small "L" icon that represents the assignment is late, and a small "M" icon that represents the assignment is "missing." Most of the time the teacher will contact you in another form since you are not able to see these items from the parent side, something that Pearson did not consider at the time they provided these tools. However, since many school districts requested this ability, Pearson will make an upgrade available within the next month to make these items visible to you.
I will post more information when I have a definite date. We are working to make this program work even better to keep you informed of your child's progress.

Have you seen what's available on the Diocesan Website?
Parents,
PowerSchool gives you information regarding your children's academic progress and attendance. Have you also had a chance to visit the diocesan website? On the schools section we have up-to-date information on What's new in our schools, school events, updated curriculum information, just as a start. Visit it often and bookmark the page - in the next several weeks there will be forms that you can download.
