Powerschool App is Available

For parents who have not previously downloaded the app, please find it in the App Store or Google Play. You will need your PowerSchool username and password, and the district code, which is BZSR. As you learned during Registration you can't use your phone for Registration. But other than that, the app is great to monitor your students grades at semester as well as absences, etc. It's useful starting now all the way through high school.
