District launches new Parent Portal

ALBANY, N.Y. (February 5, 2008) -- Parents and guardians of students at Albany High School and Harriet Gibbons High School now can keep up to date with the progress of their students through the City School District of Albany's new PowerSchool Parent Portal.

 

PowerSchool, the district's student information system, is used to schedule, take attendance, store grades, produce report cards and transcripts, and more. The system brings together teachers, students, parents and guardians, and administrators in an easy-to-use Web-based data system. The PowerSchool Parent Portal may be accessed from any place with Internet access. The application uses a secure link that encrypts the data to and from the end user, and is very secure.

 

Connect directly to the PowerSchool Parent Portal login page, or visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal Overview for an introduction and more information about the system.

 

Parents, guardians and students will be able to view daily attendance, assignments and class grades. Access to the PowerSchool Parent Portal will be by unique login ID (username) and password. For families with more than one child in the district, a separate parent username and password will be provided for access to each child’s information. If you did not receive your username and password, or if you lose them, please contact the house office at your child's school. A new letter will be mailed to you with your login information. Login IDs and passwords will not be given out over the phone, or via e-mail, to protect the confidentiality of your child's information.

 

The City School District of Albany serves approximately 9,000 students in 18 elementary and middle and high schools. The district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students in addition to neighborhood schools. The district is more than halfway through its comprehensive facilities project to newly build and/or renovate nearly all of its elementary and middle schools. The ultimate goal of the facilities project is to provide schools with the resources necessary to help students succeed in the 21st century.
