Getting to Know Your Chromebook

We are open to process work permits. Ring the bell at the entrance to DHS. An administrative assistant will assist you and there will be directions posted on the door. We will also have blank work orders near the entrance. The state has them color-coded by age so it is important to use the proper ones. We recommend calling ahead to make sure someone is in the office to help you. Contact Ms. Bastion at (734) 424-4240 ext. 7013.

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.
