In Brief: Student Portal on Chippewa's PowerSchool to Open This Week

When Chippewa Valley Schools implemented at the end of January, district parents were given access to real-time information about students' grades, attendance, assignments and more. By the end of this week, similar access will be granted to students, too.

Interim Superintendent Ron Roberts said PowerSchool's student portal will open at the end of this week and students can begin using the web-based application to access their academic information.

"So the students can go onto the portal and see how their grades are looking," Roberts said. "There is (a section) where a teacher can post comments and that I believe is the only section that students don't have access to. Students can't sign up for email reports to themselves, only parents can do that."

However, students will be able to view their grades on tests, quizzes and assignments within moments of teachers posting this information on the application.
