The South Carolina public school system utilizes the PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) to manage all aspects of student data, including attendance, grading, and reporting. One feature of PowerSchool is an online portal that allows students and parents to securely access attendance and grade information. Staying informed about your child's progress and discussing their assignments and grades with them is an excellent way to support their success. 

Here are some tips to help you get the most value from the PowerSchool Parent Portal:
1. Review assignments and grades with your child; 
2. Review historical grades [desktop version only - not possible through the app]; 

3. Review daily attendance;
4. Contact a teacher if you need further information about an assignment or grade.
