POWERSCHOOL

Parents and students have separate PowerSchool accounts which are very important to  communicate between school and home. Attendance, assessments, teacher emails, fees, and  bulletins are all updated daily. This is your primary source of communication with the school. If  you need help with your account please contact the office. 

POWERSCHOOL ATTENDANCE 

Regular and punctual attendance, along with preparation for class, is expected of all students and  has a direct relationship to success. This level of expectation is primarily the responsibility of  students and parents. The school will support the efforts of parents and students in establishing  positive behaviours. 

➢ School directed field trips and curriculum related activities, preapproved by the  Administration, will be identified as school related absences on a student's attendance  file. 

➢ Requests to sanction absences due to provincial or national competitions, religious  ceremonies, and medical situations should be directed to an Administrator and will be  reviewed on an individual basis of need. 

Attendance will be taken within the first 15 minutes of class each block. An automated message  will be sent out for each unexcused absence at the end of every block. Students that arrive late  to class are responsible for ensuring the status of their attendance is changed by the teacher. If  you are not aware of the absence, you are encouraged to speak to your son/daughter and contact  the school if you would like follow-up action.  

Parents/guardians are requested to notify the school with a brief message at 780-973-3301  or schattendance@sturgeon.ab.ca to report all absences. 

Teachers generally make contact with parents if students have missed five or more classes  without reasonable explanation. If necessary, a teacher may refer attendance concerns to a  Counsellor or an Administrator.  

Note: Parents are encouraged to sign up for PowerSchool.
