PowerSchool Parent Portal

What is PowerSchool?

The PowerSchool Parent Portal is a web-based home-to-school collaboration solution that allows parents to examine up-to-date information on their child's grades, attendance, homework assignments, and more-- all through a secure, easy-to-use online link to school records. You may even choose to receive automatic e-mail alerts if your child is tardy or missing an assignment.

What should I do if I've never received an email PowerSchool?

First, check your junk or spam folder for an email from [email protected].

If your student is enrolled in the Burke County Public School System, an email from [email protected] has been sent to the email address of the parent/guardian listed in PowerSchool. This email will contain your student's unique Access ID and Access Password. If you are a parent/guardian of multiple returning students, you will receive a separate email for each student.

If you have not received the email, contact your student’s school to update your email and retrieve your student's Access ID and Code. Access Codes will only be sent to a parent/guardian and only to the email address we have on file.

Questions? Please contact our Student Information Dept. at the Board Office, at 706-554-5101.

A/B Honor Roll and Principal's List

The Burke County Board of Education recognizes and encourages academic scholarship through two academic honor rolls for students in Grades 3-8. Both are compiled at the close of each of the four marking (nine-weeks) periods.

Principal's List

Students who earn a grade of 90 or above in all classes AND a conduct grade of Satisfactory (S) or above in all classes for the grading period (nine weeks) will be recognized on the Principal's List.

A/B Honor Roll

Students who earn an overall average of 90 or above with no grade below 80 in any class AND a conduct grade of Satisfactory (S) or above in all classes for the grading period (nine weeks) will be recognized on the Honor Roll.

Note: General rounding rules are used when computing averages for Principal's List and Honor Roll (e.g. 89.6=90; 89.4=89).

To ensure consistency and timeliness of reporting, both Principal's List and A/B Honor Roll will be run from the district office rather than at individual schools. Principals will, however, have a window of opportunity (5 days) to verify their school lists before the final list is submitted to the local paper.
