News Regarding Student Grade Reports
Beginning with Quarter 3, CCPS will no longer be sending home printed report cards. Grade Reports (interim and quarterly) will be sent by email to parent/guardians, using PowerSchool’s digital document delivery.
Please check PowerSchool to verify that your email is correct, or contact the school to provide them with your email address. Parents/guardians who have not provided their email will be contacted by the school to help ensure they are not missing important information.
In addition to receiving grade reports by email, the information will also be available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal at carolineschools.org/page/powerschool.
If you need any further information or assistance, please contact the school office.
Quarterly IEP Progress Reports
Beginning with Quarter 3, CCPS will no longer be sending home printed report cards. This includes quarterly IEP progress reports. These progress reports will be sent by email to parents/guardians.
Please contact your student's special education case manager to provide them with your email address if it has changed.
In addition to receiving IEP progress reports by email, you may also request that a paper copy be provided.
If you need any further information or assistance, please contact your student's case manager.

UPDATING BASIC INFORMATION THROUGH POWERSCHOOL
Updating student and family information is easy through PowerSchool. Families are able to update basic contact information through the PowerSchool Parent Portal Account which provides an easy online way to notify the school of a change to their email, phone number, or the student’s home address. Changes may be made at any time during the school year and as often as needed.
Why is this important? In addition to storing student information such as attendance, grades and schedules, PowerSchool is also used to store family contact information. Without accurate contact information, schools and teachers will not be able to contact the proper person in the event of a sudden illness or concern. In addition, parents will not receive the district and school calls or emails regarding inclement weather, student absence or other critical communication.
Please note:
The form can only be accessed through the PowerSchool Parent Portal Account.
The form cannot be submitted unless all required fields are complete.
Parents can update the student’s address, not the parent address. By default, the parents address will update if it is indicated they live with the student.
A Proof of Residency cannot be uploaded. Documentation must be provided to the school.
This does not replace the Student Information Form, which provides more detailed information required for the start of the school year.
For more information about the process, please visit the PowerSchool page of the Caroline website.
Emailing School & District Staff
Spam filters are designed to identify emails that attackers or marketers use to send unwanted or dangerous content. They also throw out malware, malicious, and virus-infested emails and protect user security. Unfortunately, spam filtering is an inexact science that at times blocks legitimate messages.
Should you send an email to a staff member and not receive a reply within a reasonable amount of time (no more than 48 hours), please call the office.
