Did you know you can already knock out those annual Back to School forms for your students? If you visit Parent Portal on the web or in the app, you can complete these forms digitally!
Some of the best perks of filling them out digitally include being able to submit one form for all of your children at once (assuming they share the same information), immediate data in our system for emergencies, and no risk of a form containing your sensitive data being lost on its way into school.
We've created a guide on exactly how to fill out forms online: https://scribehow.com/page/Updating_Demographics_in_the_PowerSchool_Mobile_App__JjjIaZTVQQWUcKhIXe2jMA
