POWERSCHOOL/POWERLUNCH PUBLIC PORTAL

The PowerSchool Public Portal is open for school year 2010-2011.



We see communication among parents, students and teachers as a cornerstone to academic success.  For the past seven years we have been using PowerSchool, a database for student information.  PowerSchool is a web-based application used for state reporting, grade posting, report cards, attendance, student emergency contact information and other activities. We offer a feature of PowerSchool called Parent Access to the parents/guardians of our students.  In grades 6-12, Parent Access includes access to grades, attendance, teacher comments, posted assignments, lunch balances and transactions.  In grades below six, parents view lunch balances and transactions.  

 
Internet access is needed to access the site.  If you do not have access in your own home, the town library computers can be used and we can also make arrangements for you to use a school computer. 

To GAIN ACCESS TO THE  PUBLIC PORTAL, please copy the language below from our Internet Policy onto an email and email it to kmckinstry@nrsd.net to signify acceptance of the policy.  Please include your children's name and schools in the email.  A user name and password will be sent to you.  If you wish to review the public portals, please click on the appropriate link below.
