Hello students and families,

Another week in the books at CRHS!! Sports teams were hard at work on the field and on the court. Class officers and our first Homecoming Royalty was announced. Tomorrow kicks off Homecoming week at CRHS. Each day has a theme and we encourage everyone to participate. The Homecoming game is Friday night and the dance is on Saturday. Students, remember that any referral can result in you missing out on the game and dance. I hope everyone enjoyed their 3-day weekend and is rested up for a big week!

• Any parent or guardian who is interested in providing feedback to administration about CRHS is encouraged to email Mr. Sherman. This does not have to be a formal committee, but we do value your input.
• Make sure to update your Student Information Form on PowerSchool. This will be an obligation list item.
• Homecoming tickets will be on sale starting Wednesday 9/27. The dance will be on 10/7 from 7:00- 10:00. Students must be in good standing and have not earned any referrals.
• Our Wellness Committee is hosting Fall Fest during Friday's football game. They are looking for vendors. Contact Mrs. Whitten if interested
• The annual Homecoming Parade will be held in Federalsburg on Saturday, October 7th. If you have an organization or club who would like to march in the parade, please contact Wayne Cole.

To the parent(s) of:

Caroline County Public Schools is using online updating of student information for the upcoming school year. This process replaces the paper Student Information Update Form sent home at the beginning of each school year. You will use the PowerSchool Parent Portal to access the online Student Information Update Form. Please be sure to complete this form for each child you have enrolled in Caroline County Public Schools ASAP.

If your address has changed since last school year you will need to submit a new Proof of Residence for the new address. You are also required to submit a Proof of Residence if your student is entering the 6th or 9th grade. If you have not already submitted your Proof of Residency to the middle or high school your student will be attending for the 2023-2024 school year, you may do so with the Student Information Update Form. You may upload this document or if you are not able to upload, contact the school to provide them with this document. Your update is not complete until the new Proof of Residence has been received by the school.

Completion of this form is required for every student attending Caroline County Public Schools.

How do I get started?
Visit carolinecps.powerschool.com and log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal. (You must log in via a browser, not the app) From the Parent Portal:

1. Select the student you wish to update along the top
2. Select the Student Information Update form Icon on the left side for 2023-2024. This form is available in English and Spanish.
3. Agree to the terms and conditions
4. Select Begin Forms

What if I don't have a Parent Portal account?

Contact your student's school or email powerschool@ccpsstaff.org to receive your log in information. Accounts are created at the school district office.

I can’t remember my login for the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
If you aren’t able to retrieve your login credentials using the “Having trouble signing in?” link on the Sign In page, please contact your school directly for assistance logging in to the Parent Portal.

Do I have to answer all the questions?
No, but some questions are marked "Required" and must be answered before you can submit your form.

What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change prior to submitting the form, you can either navigate back to the page using the “Prev” and “Next” buttons or if you are on the Review page select the underlined field. If you have already submitted the form you will need to contact your student’s school so they can make the changes for you.

I’ve completed the form, now what?
Once you have finished entering your information select “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot select this button you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.

What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each student?
Yes you will need to provide information that is specific to each student. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another. This will allow you to “snap” (or share) selected family information, which saves you time.

Help! I’m having technical difficulties.
For technical support, visit our PowerSchool Community help center or click “Help” from any form page.

*****STUDENTS WILL BE PUT ON THE OBLIGATION LIST IF THIS IS NOT COMPLETED BY 9/30*****
