PowerSchool for Parents iPod app

Now Available!

Two new apps are now available in the Apple iTunes® App Store: PowerSchool for Parents and PowerSchool for Students.

These new apps will allow parents and students to access all the same information they would normally access from a browser, but with the ease and convenience of an app installed on their Apple mobile device.

Facebook and Twitter integration, automatic login, a family overview, simplified “one-thumb” browsing, and other features make accessing PowerSchool on the go faster and easier than ever before. 

The apps are FREE and available for download from the iTunes store. Version 1.0 of the apps will be supported on any Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad running iOS version 4.0 or higher.

Student School Lunch Survey

In an effort to streamline our School Lunches and make them more enjoyable for the students, we are asking all of the Middle School and High School students to fill out a quick survey. The survey is asking what meals and food items are the favorites and what food items they might enjoy that we do not currently offer.

Again, this is a survey for only students so that we get accurate responses.

Here is the link to the survey.

Unity Students Receive Laptops

Apple MacBook laptops were deployed to all 9th and 10th grade students August.  The laptops will be used this year in English and math classes as part of a 3-year technology integration project with Pearson Education.  CUSD#4 is partnering with Pearson Education to create and pilot a “single source” platform that integrates digital course content, course management, assessments, grade books and reporting in a total digital environment.  Click on the links below for a more detailed description of the pilot program and recent press releases.
