As a reminder, all SWWC students will need to check their SWWC grade using Saline’s PowerSchool. This means students need to log into Saline’s PowerSchool using their Saline-provided username and password. This confidential information is provided to students by their SWWC teacher.

• Parents/Guardians will need to establish an account to have access to the SWWC grade. Here are the directions to do that.
