PowerSchool

Dexter Community Schools use PowerSchool to manage student records. Parents and students can login and view class assignments, grades, etc. by going to this link: PowerSchool Login. You will need your student's ID, which you can obtain from the school office. Parents are also assigned a login by the school; the building secretary can help you with those numbers. 

• Please note: PowerSchool is not available year-round for parent access. During the summer, we have a maintenance period and in August, it is unavailable until the new school year has been activated. 
• Parents can set up notifications for grades, missing assignments, etc. by making those selections when logged in to PowerSchool. 
• Parents can now submit updates to contact information in their student's PowerSchool record, including change of address, contact information, emergency contacts, health updates, and more. Directions for using PowerSchool forms are here. 

NETWORK LOGIN INFO

• Student emails follow this format: firstname.lastname@dexterschools.org. Use their proper name, not nickname.
• The network login for Chromebooks is your student's email. The network login for MacBook Airs follows this format: gradyearCapitalizedlastnameCapitalizedfirst intial. So, for Bob Smith, class of 2024, the network login would be: 24SmithB. 
• The default student password is usually their student ID. If that does not work, please contact your school secretary for assistance. Or, if you re-set your password, use the password reset link under the PowerSchool sign-in boxes. 

PowerSchool Mobile App

The PowerSchool Mobile app gives parents and students access to real-time information on grades, attendance, assignments, scores, and comments. With a clean, easy-to-use interface and intuitive design, the app allows parents to monitor their child's proficiency on standards and register to receive immediate alerts specific to their child. The Dexter Schools district code is FZWJ. Keep reading for more help getting set up, if needed.

Trouble Shooting: Please visit the PowerSchool Parents FAQ and scroll down to the Mobile App items. 

PLEASE NOTE: The PowerSchool Parent Portal is a WINDOW into your child's record, but is not the student's official record. For your convenience, parents can submit updates using the Update Student Information Forms, but these must be processed by staff. Changing the email associated with your parent portal account does not update the email attached to your student. 

Canvas is the LMS (Learning Management System) Dexter Community Schools uses to communicate and administer course content.  Please utilize Canvas to monitor class activities, access assignments, and maintain communications during the school year.

To use Canvas to check in on your student's progress, click on this Observer login link and log in using your existing credentials. If you haven't created an observer account yet, use the link at the top right of the login window to create one. 

If you need help with your password or account, please contact fisherr@dexterschools.org. 

Remember, students use a different portal. They log in using the student Canvas portal and their school network account.
