It is imperative that parents/guardians log into PowerSchool to update contact information for their student. This is important so that parents/guardians can stay informed of school activities, events, and information, BUT also so that other information, such as emergency contacts and school pickup permissions are accurate.

Reminder ... only individuals identified as a contact that has permission to pick up a student will be allowed to do so in the event a student needs to be dismissed early. There are NO exceptions to this and this is for student safety and security. In order to update a contact or create a new contact, please log into PowerSchool and click on Forms on the left side column. From there go to

• General Forms
• Contact Update
• Edit or Add a Card
• Click appropriate fields, especially those for Emergency Contact and School Pickup.
