Greetings Parents and Stakeholders,

E.J. Hayes would like to thank all the people who have served their country in the military or have relatives who have served. One day a year is not enough to honor them for all of their sacrifices.

We are searching for Christmas gifts for students to be able to give to their relatives on the last days of school in December. Please think about donating new or slightly used items that would be appropriate for students to purchase (with tickets earned from good behavior). Students will pick items from the shop, have them wrapped by a volunteer, and then taken home to their family members. Thanks in advance for your help with this endeavor. And, once again, thank you for choosing E.J. Hayes: Where relationships foster learning!

Mr. Myers

Congratulations to Thomas Barber and all of the Teachers of Excellence for MCS. We are especially proud of Kristin Jones, the Teacher of Excellence from E.J. Hayes and Cortnee Mobley, Teacher of Excellence from South Creek Elementary. Both Mrs. Mobley and Mrs. Jones teach 3rd grade.

Instructions for Accessing PowerSchool's Parent Portal. Students received a piece of paper with this information on it yesterday. Please check your child's folders.

There are two ways to access your child's information in PowerSchool. In addition to these instructions, you will need the letter from your child's school/teacher that contains the access IDs and passwords.

The First Way (This is the quickest and easiest way.)

1. Go to martin.powerschool.com/public

2. Enter the Student Access ID and Student Access Password into the Parent Sign In fields

(Yes, it will work!)

3. Make sure to enter the Student Access Password in ALL CAPS

4. This should take you right in to your child's information

The Second Way (This way allows the parent to receive periodic email updates.)

1. Go to martin.powerschool.com/public

2. Click on the Create Account tab

3. Click the blue Create Account button

4. On the Create Parent Account page, at the top, enter the parent's first and last name,

email address, desired username, and password (twice). Make sure to follow the password parameters in order for your password and account to be created

successfully.

5. In the link to Student Account section under the number 1, enter your first student's

name, PARENT access ID and PARENT access password. Then, in the dropdown, select the choice that best represents your relationship to the student.

6. If you have multiple children, you can enter their information under numbers (2 through 7). By adding all of your children to one account, you can access all of your children using one username and password.

7. After you have entered all of the required information, click on the Enter button.

8. If you were successful, you will get a message saying "Congratulations! Your new Parent

Account has been created. Enter your Username and password to start using your new account." Then use your new username and password to sign into your parent account.

9. If you were unsuccessful, you will get a message saying you are missing some required

information. Correct what is missing or incorrect and Enter again.

10. Please Note: You can only use your email address one time to setup an account. If your

email address has already been used and is attached to an existing account, your account creation will be unsuccessful and you will have to use another email address.
