Student safety is very important to us. Since there are no staff members to supervise children prior to 8:45 AM, students should NOT be dropped off at school prior to this time.
The Student Role: Children will walk safely to the building and enter through their designated door (PreK-K Door #25, grades 1st-2nd door #24, and grades 3rd-8th main door).
Children will proceed to their village and enter their cafeteria for breakfast.
The Parent Role: Parents will drop their child(ren) off at their assigned door.
Dismissal Procedure
The Student Role: Students will be dismissed from their classrooms in the following order:
Green village students will sit on the green line and wait for their pickup to receive them at the door.
Grades 1-2 will dismiss at door #24.
PreK-Kindergarten will dismiss at door #25.
Red village students, grades 3rd-5th, will dismiss from door #2.
Black village students, grades 6th-8th, will dismiss from main door #1.
The PowerSchool parent portal provides parents with direct access to student data via the Internet. Using a confidential ID number and password provided by their child's school, parents can create their own PowerSchool account using a web browser or the PowerSchool app and view their child’s data, such as progress reports, attendance records, report cards, transcripts and more. During account creation, parents can create their own unique username and password. The credentials listed on the form from the school will link the student to their parent's account.
The first time you login to the PowerSchool app for your phone or tablet, you will be asked to enter the District's unique four digit code: PSNW
If you have not been issued a Username or Password, or are facing challenges with your password, please contact your school for the required login information.
