Interested in offering your opinion on revising Report Cards?

Teachers,

The Diocese is collecting feedback from teachers regarding the report card format created before the use of PowerSchool. We are interested in what changes are needed and what additions might be necessary. Please keep in mind with your responses that parents from all diocesan schools will be able to see grades on line as well as report card grades. Comments can be posted for parents to see at anytime during the semester and even for individual assignments.

Please complete the survey that corresponds to the grade level you are teaching. There is a survey specific to special classes as well. The report cards are listed by middle school first, third and fourth second, then first and second, kindergarten and last for special subjects. Click next on the bottom of the pages until you arrive at the survey for your grade. Each section is followed by a Thank you page.

PowerSchool will be down for Maintenance from Feb. 15-Feb.19

Teachers,

The system will receive a maintenance upgrade starting from noon on Friday, February 15th through 8 a.m. Tuesday, February 19th. THIS UPGRADE SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR ABILITY TO TAKE ATTENDANCE THOSE DAYS. Although there may be times that PowerTeacher will not be available, the gradebook is the part of the system that may be affected the most during the upgrade. It should be available for use various times within that time frame, however, to save frustration, enter grades either prior to or after the scheduled maintenance. If you have any trouble after that time frame please contact me.

Thanks!
Adele
