Welcome to PowerSchool! PowerSchool
helps Marion-Florence USD 408 access and maintain student,
staff, and schedule information. PowerSchool is a database
application that runs on a server, which is the center of
your student information system. PowerSchool uses the
Internet to facilitate student information management and
communication among school administrators, teachers,
parents, and students.
PowerSchool is a secure portal to your
student's grades, attendance and much more. You will have
access from any Internet capable computer anywhere, anytime.
Imagine knowing class grades before the progress reports or
report cards are even sent home!
Parental Involvement and PowerSchool
Study after study has validated the fact that active
parental interest and participation in their child's
education is THE single most important determinant of a
student's achievement. It is not a student's ethnicity,
gender, or even economic status that will influence academic
achievement. It is the active interest and involvement of
the parents and guardians to their child's schoolwork and
activities on a daily basis that will ultimately underwrite
student progress. This is where the PowerSchool Parent
Portal comes in to play.
PowerSchool Parent Portal is a tool
that is integrated into the PowerSchool Student Information
System (SIS) that is specifically developed for parents and
students. PowerSchool Parent Portal gives parents and
students secure access to real-time information
including attendance, grades and detailed assignment
descriptions, school bulletins, lunch menus and even
personal messages from the teacher. You
will have access from any Internet capable computer
anywhere, anytime. Imagine knowing class grades before the
progress reports or report cards are even sent home!
Everyone stays connected: Students stay on top of
assignments, parents are able to participate more fully in
their student's progress, and teachers can use their
gradebook to make decisions on what information they want to
share with parents and students.

Portal, click the
