Introducing PowerSchool: Your New Tool for Staying Connected with JPS

August 30, 2024 

 

Jackson Public Schools is excited to announce the launch of a new app coming soon! PowerSchool is designed to give parents and caregivers easy access to all the information you need to know about your child's academic journey.

 

It’s our new, cloud-based Student Information System (SIS), that has a Parent Portal to connect you to grades, assignments, attendance, and more. And guess what - scholars can create a portal too!

 

Key Features:

• Parent/Student Portal: Stay informed about your child’s progress with real-time access to grades, assignments, and attendance records.
• Personalized Learning: Teachers can tailor learning paths based on each student's unique interests, skills, and goals, enhancing their educational experience.
• Real-Time Notifications: Receive instant notifications on your mobile device about your child's grades and attendance.
• Administrative Tools: Our schools will benefit from enhanced tools for scheduling, attendance tracking, and data management, all while ensuring compliance with state regulations.

JPS is asking all parents to be on the lookout for instructions on how you can access the new mobile app and Parent Portal. Until then, you can watch this video that explores the new tool.
