Each year, the Beacon City School District requires parents/guardians to update their information so our student information systems stay up to date. Having current phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses and emergency contacts allows for families to be kept up to date on student progress, school happenings, district announcements and emergencies within the Beacon Community.
To update and review contact information, parents/guardians need to complete the Annual Update Form within the PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you have stopped receiving emails and phone calls from Sargent and/or the district, it is likely that your Returning Student Registration Form has expired and a new one needs to be completed.
Our district relies heavily on PowerSchool Parent Portal at the secondary level as the live gradebook feature allows parents/guardians to view student grades and assignments 24/7 - using any computer or device with internet access. The Parent Portal also gives information to parents/guardians about student assignments, student progress, assignment descriptions (if available), teacher comments and attendance. At the elementary level, we will begin to lean on Parent Portal more so parents/guardians can have real time access to progress reports, report cards and class assignments digitally. Although there is not much information to monitor right now, all elementary students should have a Power School Parent Portal Account.
