Student Information

  Student Information
PowerSchool is a student information system that we use at MRH to share information between students, teachers, and parents. Students can track their own progress, parents have immediate access to their student's grades, and teachers gain timesaving administrative tools.

Password not working?

PowerSchool is very easy to use. The only common problem we encounter is passwords sometimes do not appear to work ("invalid password"). However, what is really causing the problem is that you must install the most recent version of your web browser and make sure Javascript is enabled. This solves 99% of the problems.

Tips

Teachers update their grades on different schedules, so grades will most likely not change every day. Check to see when the report was last updated to understand what has been included in the grade.

Commonly used codes:
   NHI = not handed in, 0 grade (does impact grade)
   EX = excused (doesn't impact grade)
   () = grade not yet entered (doesn't impact grade)
   Attendance: A = absent, T = tardy
