We are excited to offer online ordering for school pictures this year! Ordering is quick and easy. Picture Day is September 17th. Simply click on the link for your student’s school and enter your student’s first and last name exactly as it was provided to the school. You will then be able to view and order the same picture packages available on the paper order forms.

Please choose ONE way to order. Do not place an order both online and on a paper order form, as this will result in duplicate orders. Please note that each building has a specific link so separate schools will need separate transactions.

School Picture Ordering Link:

• PA High School: Order Pictures
• PA Middle School: Order Pictures

Important Ordering Information

The last day to order using these school-specific online links is October 31, 2026. After October 31, online ordering will move to the photographer’s regular ordering system. Orders placed through that system will include a shipping fee and will be mailed directly to the family’s home address.

If you have any questions about ordering, please contact the school office.

Changes to the middle and high school grading and reporting procedures will make it easier to know how your student(s) are doing in their classes. Please contact the main office if you have any questions about logging in or navigating.

• Mobile App: (new users) Open the relevant app store on your device, search for "PowerSchool," and then download the free "PowerSchool App." Use the code LNMT to link to the LSSU database, and enter the login credentials you were provided with by the district. Navigate between different views from a menu on the bottom of the screen. If you have more than one child, switch between their information by clicking on another name in the top right corner.
• Laptop or Desktop: Log into the LSSU PowerSchool Parent Portal (also accessible through the Quick Links menu on the LSSU website), and enter the login credentials you were provided with by the district. The homepage will be the "Grades and Attendance" tab. From this view, you can see how your student is doing in all their classes. If you have more than one child, switch between their information by clicking on another name in the top left corner.

After the school year is underway and assignment grades have been entered, you will be able to click on class grades to see assignment level information for each course. Grades will be automatically updated every Friday morning.

Juniors: Your assistance is needed if you wish to take the PSAT Exam this fall. The PSAT exam will once again be offered to Peoples Academy 11th grade students on Thursday, October 15th. The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) is structured similarly to the SAT®, has the same sections and timing, and measures the same Reading and Writing and Math skills students learn in the classroom—the knowledge and skills your child needs to succeed in college and career. See what’s on the PSAT/NMSQT test. As of fall 2023, the PSAT/NMSQT is digital. Find out what to expect.

The cost of the PSAT exam is covered by Peoples Academy, but students MUST register with Tracie Locke in the guidance office so that an exam can be ordered. There is a quick turn around from the start of school and when the exam order needs to be placed. Please notify Tracie via email (tracie.locke@lamoillesouth.org) or sign up in the guidance office by October 1st.

The ASVAB test will be offered at GMTCC on Thursday, September 17th from 9am-12pm. Please come to guidance to sign up and pick up a permission slip.

Click the link above for the guidance department resource page. Inside you will find easy links to information about current courses, student opportunities, and preparing for college. Let us know what you think and if there are other resources we can provide for you!

It's an original resource and REFERRAL tool for basic needs like housing, food, utilities, and transportation. The emphasis is on referrals, because not only can you find information about hundreds of organizations on the side, you can also refer yourself or others and make a direct connection with those organizations.

The site is free to use and has information about local (e.g. neighborhood food shelf), state (e.g. Department of Health), and ational (e.g. Veterans Affairs) resources. It can also be translated into over 100 different languages.
