Click here to access the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Newark Educators Community Charter School uses PowerSchool to take daily attendance, store student grades, and produce progress reports, report cards, and transcripts. One of the key components of PowerSchool is the Parent Portal. The Parent Portal “brings together” teachers, students, parents, and school administrators in an easily used and accessible web-based data system. By utilizing PowerSchool, everyone stays connected. You will be able to fully participate in your child’s academic progress. In addition, the Parent Portal will allow you to view information regarding your child’s attendance, grades, detailed assignment descriptions, and comments/messages from teachers.
Caution To Parents
While our instructional staff will make every effort to update grades as frequently as possible, parents/guardians should note that all grades may not be immediately entered PowerSchool. Therefore, grades shown in PowerSchool may not reflect the most recent grade. Nevertheless, we recommend that parents inquire about unsatisfactory grades directly with the teacher.
