Starting this school year (2026–2027), District 5 will distribute all report cards electronically through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. To ensure student data privacy and security, printed report cards will no longer be sent home with students. Moving forward, historical report cards for every term your student is enrolled in District 5 will remain accessible in the portal.

Accessing Your Child’s Report Card

When report cards are published at the end of each grading period, parents and guardians will receive a notification email. To view official report cards:

1. Visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal in a web browser: https://lexrich5.powerschool.com/public.

2. Sign in to your Parent account.

Please note: Official report card documents are only available via a web browser, not through the PowerSchool mobile app (though current grades are always visible in the app).

Troubleshooting & Parent vs. Student Accounts

Parents and students have separate login portals. If you do not see the student scheduling information or report card link upon logging in, you may be signed into a student account. You can verify which account you are using by checking the name displayed in the top-right corner of the screen. For help with your Parent Portal account, please reach out to your child’s school registrar.

Requesting a Printed Copy

If you require a paper copy of your child’s report card, please contact their school directly to arrange a pickup at the front office.

On October 15, Irmo High School International School for the Arts celebrated a milestone: our International Baccalaureate Pinning Ceremony! This event officially welcomed our first-year IB students into the programme and recognized their commitment to academic excellence, leadership, and personal growth.

What made this celebration even more special was that our IB seniors planned and led the ceremony, presenting pins to our newest IB students as a symbol of unity, pride, and the journey ahead. We were excited to welcome families, IB alumni, special guests, and students from our Escolares magnet pathway to share in this memorable occasion.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration a success! We are proud of our students and look forward to watching them continue to grow as scholars and leaders.

Congratulations to our Escolares Students of the Week!
