Update/ Review Student Information:

This must be completed on a web browser. This can not be completed from the PowerSchool app.

• Once logged in, student tabs are at the top of the Parent PowerSchool portal. As you click on each of your students associated with your account, you will see the banner that says, "STUDENT INFORMATION UPDATE NEEDED"
  

• Click on the banner to review/update all contact information. If there are no changes that are needed, please click the box at the top of the page indicating no changes and NEXT at the bottom of the page until you reach the end.

Effective beginning Wednesday, August 23, 2023, students will no longer be allowed to use their cell phones within the school premises during class hours, lunch breaks, and other school activities during the regular school day. We understand that cell phones have become an integral part of modern life, but we firmly believe that minimizing their presence during school hours will help promote better concentration, reduce distractions, and foster face-to-face interactions among students. Students may store their cell phones in their lockers for the duration of the school day and are welcome to use them after the conclusion of the school day.

To support this policy, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that your child is informed of this change. If there are specific reasons your child may need a cell phone for emergencies or other important matters, please contact the front office at (517) 817-4703 to discuss alternative arrangements.

We acknowledge this change may require an adjustment period for both students and parents. Therefore, our teachers and staff will be actively engaging with students to educate them about the rationale behind this policy and how it can positively impact their learning experience.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please do not hesitate to contact us at nw.media@nwschools.org. Your feedback is important as we strive to create the best environment for our students.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Together, we can ensure that our school remains a safe and productive place for students to thrive personally and academically. Please see a copy of the updated policy found in the Student Handbook at the bottom of this letter.

• All address changes or updates to student accounts are processed through the Parent's PowerSchool account.
• Parent's must create their OWN PowerSchool account to make any changes.
• Address changes will require the Parent to submit documentation to the building's office before the change is made to the student's account.

Parents will need to update their student's enrollment information annually. To do this, parents must have a PowerSchool account. This is created by the parent. You can reach PowerSchool via the app, or on our website. Once a parent sets up an account with the student's information, they are able to change addresses, phone numbers, emails. etc.

The 2024-2025 school year calendar magnet allows your student and you to track how many days they miss throughout the school year. It also provides you with a QR Code to scan to report an absence.

Procedures for pick up and drop off. In the morning, the doors unlock at 7:05 am however, students can be dropped off before that time and wait under the awning. Students can enter the building and go to the cafeteria until 7:15 am. When dropping off your child(ren), please stay in a single-file line and to the right. Please prepare for a quick exit from the vehicle to keep the line moving. If your drop-off requires additional time, please pull into a parking spot to allow others to drop off in a timely manner.

When picking your child(ren) up after school, please pull into a parking spot and wait for your student(s). Parents do not need to come into the office to sign their student(s) out at the end of the day. Most parent-pick-up students will exit into the south parking lot (corner of VanHorn and Rives JCT), away from the main entrance.
