Spartan Parent Technology Update

Please continue using SafeArrival through the SchoolMessenger app to report your child’s absences quickly and securely. This system helps ensure accurate attendance records and keeps our communication efficient.

You can report absences 24/7 in any of these ways:

1. Phone: Call 1-866-736-9208 to use the automated system.

2. Mobile App: Open the SchoolMessenger app and select Attendance → Report an Absence.

3. Website: Visit home.schoolmessenger.com and select Attendance → Report an Absence.

4. MyPowerHub: Log into Parent Portal and select MyPowerHub → Attendance → SafeArrival Attendance.

Reporting absences in advance prevents automated calls and ensures your child’s attendance record is up to date.

We’re excited to remind families about the PowerSchool Parent Portal—your one-stop access point for staying informed about your child’s education.

• Access Report Cards and Interim Grades: View official grades and progress reports online—no more waiting for paper copies to come home.

Introducing MyPowerHub

We’re excited to announce the addition of MyPowerHub, a new feature inside PowerSchool Parent Portal designed to make parent access even easier. Through MyPowerHub, parents can:

• Access all PowerSchool tools in one place—no separate logins.
  

• View key updates and alerts personalized for your child.
  

• Quickly navigate between grades, attendance, communication, and forms.
  
  

Getting Started

If you haven’t yet activated your Parent Portal account, contact your child’s school office for assistance. Once you’re logged in, take a few minutes to explore all the new tools available through MyPowerHub.

Stay Informed, Stay Engaged

The PowerSchool Parent Portal puts information at your fingertips—helping you stay involved, informed, and connected to your child’s academic success.

Parents and guardians of Erdenheim, Middle School, and High School students: As part of our ongoing efforts to improve cybersecurity, student passwords will be updated to new, unique passwords before the start of the school year. New login information will be shared with families before the start of the school year, along with additional details to help make the transition as smooth as possible. Thank you for your support as we work to keep student accounts secure.

Here’s a quick reminder about how Schoology and PowerSchool work together — and what each one is used for:

Schoology

Schoology is your classroom hub.
This is where you’ll:

• Access your classwork and assignments

• Submit homework and check due dates

• View your course calendar

• Communicate and collaborate with your teachers and classmates

Think of Schoology as your daily workspace for learning and participation.

PowerSchool Portal

PowerSchool is where you check your official grades and progress.
This is the system used to calculate:

• Current grades in each class

• Interim reports

• Eligibility reports

• Report cards

MyPowerHub is a new feature in the student portal. It gives you quick-access tiles for Grades, Assignments, Calendar, School Messenger, and Attendance — all in one place.
It’s mobile-friendly, so each tile displays cleanly on your phone.
Give it a try!

If you ever notice a difference between your grades in Schoology and PowerSchool, reach out to your teacher. They can make sure both systems are synced and accurate.

You can access the PowerSchool Student Portal and MyPowerHub through ClassLink, or directly at:

The School District provides each student with a Chromebook to support their learning, access digital resources, and complete schoolwork both in and out of the classroom. Students are expected to use their District-issued Chromebook for all instructional purposes unless specific permission has been granted by their teacher or District administration.

Personal Devices:
Students should not bring their own laptops, Chromebooks, or tablets to school for instructional use. Personally owned devices are not supported by the District Technology Department, and staff cannot provide technical assistance, troubleshooting, or network access for them. Additionally, if a personal device is lost, stolen, or damaged while on school property, the District is not responsible or liable for any costs or repairs associated with it.

By using the District-issued Chromebook, students ensure consistency, security, and reliability across all classrooms and learning platforms.
