Checking Student Progress on PowerSchool
When you are in your child’s enrolled classes it will look something like this:

(Sample of fake student)
This screen shows all of the courses your child is enrolled in.  The first column is “Semester 1”. to view assignments from now until the first report card, click the small (i) in this column.  This will give more information about the course you want to see. The yellow arrow is pointing at the (i) to click for all Math assignments.

When you click the (i) you will see this screen:

This shows that the student has 4 collected assignments. 
Green Arrow – this icon shows if the assignment has been submitted, if it’s late, etc. The checkmark in a green circle means the assignment was handed in/completed.
Red Arrow - the small blue speech bubble means there is a comment on the student’s work
Blue Arrow – click the word “view” to see the comments and the assignment description
Yellow Arrow – to see the marks click this blue graph (some assignments do not have outcome marks, they may just have “collected”/”missing”/”late” markers, or only comments.


When you click the blue graph, if there are marks on specific outcomes this is what you’ll see:

This shows that this assignment was graded on 3 of the stems; the scores are on the right side of the table.
