The parent portal is a way to access your student's
electronic records from any computer with
an Internet connection. |

and is made by the largest student information company
in the world. |
QUESTION 4:
What do I need in order to gain access? |
ANSWER:
First you will need to fill out the
Parent Portal Registration form.
Once you have completed the form simply mail it back to
the school. Once we have verified your information
you will receive an email with login information. |
QUESTION 5:
What software do I need on my computer to gain access? |
ANSWER:
Your computer should be running at least Windows 98, but
XP and Vista work much better. You should also
have the latest
JAVA
software installed. Power School runs best under
Firefox but
Internet Explorer will work as well. |
QUESTION 6:
Do I need to have broadband Internet to use the portal? |
ANSWER:
These days most applications are designed to work with a
broadband connection. It may be possible for you
to access the parent portal via dialup but either DSL or
Cable Internet access is recommended. |
|

to be taken to the login page. |
|
QUESTION 8:
Once I complete the request form
where do I mail it? |
ANSWER:
Please mail the request form to the school your student
attends. (Mailing addresses for each school are listed
below)
NOTE: PLEASE write Parent Portal in the
lower left hand side. |
QUESTION 9:
My email is not working when I click on the name of a
teacher to send them a message. What am I doing
wrong? |
ANSWER:
If you use a webmail program like gmail, yahoo or
hotmail your browser can not log you into your email to
send this message. You must run a local (or POP)
emailer like Outlook or Outlook Express in order to have
the email address automatically placed in your "TO" box.
If you mouse over the name of the teacher you want to
email look in the lower left section of your screen and
you will see their email address. 99% of the time
a teachers email is their first initial followed by a
"." then their last name and "@sau33.com" for example:
k.lemoi@sau33.com |
QUESTION 10:
If I have a problem logging into the parent portal how
do I get help? |
ANSWER:
Please send any support questions to Kevin R. Lemoi -
Technology Director for SAU 33. Mr. Lemoi can be
reached at:
techdir@sau33.com
|
QUESTION 11:
Why are some of the words on the parent portal blue? |
ANSWER:
Any word or phrase that is blue is a link to additional
information, CLICK on it and explore! |
QUESTION 12:
Are these grades up to the minute? |
ANSWER:
Not always. It is the expectation that teachers
will update their grade books every 2 weeks at the
latest. Some teachers will update earlier of
course... if you have a question feel free to email your
students teacher to get more information. |
QUESTION 13:
Will there be more information placed on the parent
portal in the future?
|
ANSWER:
Absolutely! As we develop the parent portal
additional features will come online. |
