This document is a good resource for trying to plan ahead. We are plugging in dates as we hear of them. This is subject to change, but want to keep you all in the loop.

In an effort to improve communication about student progress, teachers have added course information into the Class Description tab on PowerSchool. In the class description families should receive information about the standards that will be assessed as well as the method of final grade calculation (highest score or mean for each standard). With our standards based grading system, students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher if you have questions.

While the PowerSchool App is useful for doing quick grade and attendance checks, families are encouraged to use PowerSchool through a web browser (PowerSchool) to have better access to course information and comments. The same log-in credentials will allow you access through the web-based version. The web-based version can be accessed on your phone through a web browser. Our District code is KGSP.

If you plan to help out at Superior High School, please visit the link below and complete the 2 PART process. If you need assistance with the fee associated with the background check, please email leann.egnash@superior.k12.wi.us and she can help you. We do not want this fee to deter you from making a positive difference at our school. You can specify in your application if you want it to include multiple schools within our district. This check is valid for one year from the date it is complete.

Students can find the audition packet for Midsummer Night's Dream in their morning announcement email.
