Using school parent portals effectively
View All Tags
Picture this: It's the end of the semester, and you're blindsided by a grade that could've been salvaged weeks ago—if only you'd known about that missing assignment or seen how close you were to the next grade threshold. Sound familiar?
As a parent of a high schooler, you're probably familiar with this scenario: It's 9 PM, and you're toggling between PowerSchool and Canvas in different browser tabs, trying to piece together how your child is actually doing in school. PowerSchool shows one set of grades, Canvas shows assignments and due dates, and your inbox has 20 unread notifications from both systems plus teacher emails. Sound familiar? You're not alone.
