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. 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 cannot edit contact information in their student's PowerSchool record. The email you include for notifications is not connected to your student's permanent record. To update your email or phone, please contact your school office. To update everything including home address, use the Change of Address Form. 

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.

Instruction in Reproductive Health is offered to students in grades 4-12 and is taught by certified teachers who have received special training. As required by the State of Michigan School Code, the curriculum is developed under the guidance of the Reproductive Health Advisory Committee, a Board-appointed committee. The committee includes parents, guardians, teachers and interested community mem­bers. Questions about reproductive health instruction should be referred to the building principal of the school your child attends.

Each year parents are given notice of when Reproductive Health classes will be taught. Parents/guardians have the opportunity to review the content and materials. Materials are available for review in each school’s office and/or during an evening meeting that is held prior to instruction. The choice to participate in Reproductive Health is up to each child’s parents/guardians, who have the option of excusing their child from the reproductive portion of the curriculum.
