POWER SCHOOL - PARENT ACCESS - REQUIRED

Every parent/guardian should monitor his/her child's grades at least once a week. Parents can have direct access to each teacher's gradebook. Grades will begin posting after the 10th day of school and will be updated at least once per week. Student report cards will be viewable only online at the end of each quarter via Power School Parent Access.

If you had access last year at any SCCPSS school, your login information and access code remain the same. If you have never had access before, please use this link for accessing the Request for a PowerSchool Parent Access account.

Students should have access so they may monitor their own grades as well.

MEDICATION MUST BE DELIVERED TO NURSE JAMIE BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN

Important Reminder:

SCCPSS policy states that students may not bring or carry any medication on their person. This means any medication in a backpack, purse, bag, etc. Students may never bring medication of any type to school - no aspirin, Motrin, vitamins, prescriptions, inhalers, epi-pens, sunscreen, over-the-counter products, etc. All medication and over-the-counter products must be signed in with Nurse Jamie by a parent or guardian. Please email nurse Jaimie for a blank verification form.

Please understand you may not have your student carry the medication to or from the clinic. Students that carry inhalers or epi pens must have Asthma/Food Allergy Action Plans on file in the clinic. Thank you for helping to keep all our students safe and healthy! With proper physician orders, inhalers and epi-pens may be issued to students by Nurse Jamie to carry on campus.

At The STEM Academy, we prioritize the health and well-being of all students. To help create a comfortable and safe environment, we kindly ask that you send only stick or roll-on deodorants, perfumes, or colognes with your child. Please avoid sending any spray versions of these products, as they can trigger migraines, asthma symptoms, and other sensitivities for some students.

Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that all of our students can thrive in a healthy school environment!

Please contact our school nurse at jamie.vanderark@sccpss.com with any questions.
