PowerSchool for Students

To help our technology systems work together more effectively, we will be updating student usernames for PowerSchool.

  • Only the PowerSchool username is changing.
  • Passwords will remain the same.
  • This change will not affect students’ access to email or Schoology.
  • This change will not affect parents’ accounts.

New Username Format

Student usernames will follow this format: FirstLastYr ("First" and "Last" refer to the student's first and last name, and "Yr" is the last two digits of their graduation year.)

Example

Using a student named "John Smith"

  • Seniors – Class of 2026: JohnSmith26
  • Juniors – Class of 2027: JohnSmith27
  • Sophomores – Class of 2028: JohnSmith28
  • Freshmen – Class of 2029: JohnSmith29

For seniors and juniors, this change will take effect on Sunday, September 14th, at 10:00 pm

For sophomores and freshmen, this change will take effect on Monday, September 15th at 10:00 pm.

If students have any questions or need assistance, please contact your guidance counselor or Mr. DeMartino.

 



PowerSchool for Parents

PowerSchool allows parents to look up their sons' grades.

Access information for both programs was distributed to freshmen during the first week of school. Upperclassmen will continue to use the same login credentials. If you have trouble accessing either, please call or e-mail your son’s guidance counselor. The Help Desk cannot assist with either Schoology or PowerSchool.
