Powerschool for Parents 

What is PowerSchool?

The PowerSchool Parent Portal is the primary source of information for your child's school activity. All active students have at least one parent/guardian with a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Parents/Guardians can view attendance, report cards, assessments such as MAP, CAASPP, or ELPAC and the Annual Intent. Parents/Guardians can view multiple children through one portal account, even if the students attend different Dawson County schools.
