Student Login Changes:
Students now need to create a Google Chrome profile and utilize Single Sign-On (SSO) for logging into PowerSchool. We've provided detailed instructions on how to set up a Google profile via the following link: Chrome Profile and Clever Setup Guide
Parent Login Remains Unchanged:
For parents, the login method remains the same. If you've previously set up a parent login using the portal letter provided at the beginning of the school year, it will continue to work seamlessly.
Portal Letter Assistance:
If you're unsure about your parent portal letter or haven't set up a parent login for your student, please reach out to the office of the school your child attends, high school will need to contact the Guidance Office. The portal letter contains a unique login and password that can only be obtained from the letter, along with instructions on how to set this up. A letter for each student will be needed to add multiple students into one parent account. This will make it easier for parents to check the status of their students without logging into their accounts.

Reporting a Student Absence
Parents/guardians must report all student absences using ParentSquare. You may report an absence using one of the following:
● “Report an Absence” Feature- Open the ParentSquare app, Select “Report an Absence”; Complete and submit the form.
● Parent Notes- Use the Messaging feature to contact the school’s attendance office via the app or website.
Required Information:
● Student’s full name
● Student’s grade
● Date(s) of absence
● Reason for absence (illness, appointment, etc.)
These options are available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. Future absences can be reported at any time. If your student will be out for a planned absence of three days or longer, please continue to complete the planned absence form that can be found on the Highland Local School District website under Quick Links on the webpage of your child’s school building. You may also contact the school secretary for this form.
Planned Absences
The school recognizes that many students are involved in planned absences during the school year. We ask that parents use good judgment in taking their child from school for these absences and should consider the child’s classroom achievement at the time of the absences. The school will provide classroom assignments if the absence is for more than two days and requests are made at least three days in advance. The school does reserve the right to expect any written assignments that are given to be returned and subject to grading. All assignments made for the planned absence period shall be completed and turned in on the first day of the student’s return to school. Please complete the Planned Absence Form if your student will be absent for an extended period of time.
