In the state of South Carolina public schools use PowerSchool student information system (SIS) to manage all aspects of student data including attendance, grading, schedules, and reporting. One of the components of PowerSchool is an online portal that students and parents can use to view password-protected information. Keeping up to date with your child's progress in classes and talking with them about their assignments and grades is a great way for you to help them be successful.

A PowerSchool Parent account allows you to follow your student's progress on a regular basis, including assignments, grades, attendance, and schedules.
