Reminders

• Student Demographic Information: As a follow-up to a prior announcement, we need your help to update the Demographics page with current information for students enrolled at your school. Maintaining student demographic information in PowerSchool helps keep student records up-to-date and impacts other systems that rely on this data. Thank you for your cooperation.
