Important links
Here are links to the portals for PowerSchool, Linq Connect, and DeansList. Log-in information was supplied to all parents at the start of the school year, but if you lost it, contact the school's Main Office.
PowerSchool contains your child's records, including grades, absences, and other pertinent information.
 Parents can use this link to complete the online food program application, manage and pay their child's breakfast and lunch program fees.
DeansList is utilized to track student behavior and to communicate with individual parents about their students' personal development.
