• PowerSchool Parent Portal: Student Update Forms, Devices​

     

    As a reminder, Highlands School District utilizes PowerSchool as its student information system for all students. Please review the important information below about updating your child's information online and completing parent permission for your child's school-issued device. Once the forms are completed, you will be able to access your child's schedule.  

    Student Update Forms

    New this school year is an upgraded PowerSchool parent portal that provides a paperless, streamlined process for all parents/guardians to update items such as student directory information, emergency contacts, health information and medication needs for the upcoming school year. For the safety and security of our students, it is imperative that our system has accurate and current information about your child.

    These mandatory Student Update forms must be completed prior to the beginning of the new school year. The first day of school for students is Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024. 

    Additionally, you will not have access to your child’s 2024-25 school schedules and teacher information if their Student Update forms are not completed.

    Device Distribution Process

    You will be able to complete the parent permission form for the district-issued iPad (Grades K-1) or Chromebook (Grades 2-12) and have the option to purchase the device insurance through the PowerSchool parent portal. The device will be delivered to your child in homeroom; we will not be distributing devices prior to the first day of school.

    UPDATE 9/5/24: 

    In order for your child to receive this device at school, we must first have your completed parent permission form on record. 

    If you have not already completed the annual parent permission form for the district-issued iPad or Chromebook, please do so as soon as possible through the PowerSchool parent portal on your computer or through the PowerSchool app on your smartphone.

    You will also have the option to purchase or waive the device insurance through the PowerSchool parent portal/app.

    How do I complete the Student Update and Device Forms?

    1. Access the PowerSchool parent portal on your PowerSchool app or here: https://powerschool.goldenrams.com/public/home.html  You may also visit the district website at www.goldenrams.com and scroll down the homepage to click on the circle A+ grades portal icon. 
    2. Once logged in to the PowerSchool parent portal on a computer, tablet or smartphone, you can click on “Forms” on the left-hand navigation menu to complete the information under the Enrollment Tab.
    3. Be sure to click “Submit” when each form is completed. The forms may be completed in more than one session.

    If your child is newly enrolling in Highlands School District for the 2024-25 school year, you do NOT need to complete a PowerSchool student update for this school year.

    What if I don't know my PowerSchool login information? 

    In order to provide efficient and effective service, we ask that all parents/guardians who do not know their PowerSchool parent portal usernames and/or passwords to reach out to Adrienne Kolek at akolek@goldenrams.com as soon as possible.

    Thank you for your prompt attention to these important updates as we look forward to the 2024-25 school year!
