PowerSchool Parent Portal

PowerSchool Link

PowerSchool's external interface gives parents and students access to real-time information including attendance, grades, and detailed assignment descriptions, school bulletins, lunch and student fee accounts and even personal messages from the teacher.

To log on to your child's PowerSchool account, hit the PowerSchool link and then enter the Web ID and the Guardian password for your student. Note, those numbers are randomly generated through PowerSchool and the office will assign those numbers to your child.

Please call the office and talk to Amy if you are having trouble getting signed on to PowerSchool.

Carpool and Bus Information

Unloading Carpool: Please pull into the school loop and wait to drop your child(ren) off. Drop off begins at 8:15 am. If you arrive at the school after 8:30, you will need to sign your children in at the office.

Loading Carpool: Pick up will begin at 3:31 pm (12:31 on Wed.). Students will line up outside to wait for their carpool name to be called. Hang your carpool sign from your rear view mirror or passenger side visor (see explanation below). Every car must have a sign. As you arrive, please stay in the right hand lane, unless you have only a single passenger to pick up, then you may use the left lane. Please leave room between the sidewalk and the vehicles, this will allow for a safety area.

Carpool Names and Signs: To help speed the loading process, every car should have a sign with a carpool name on it. Please make sure all the children riding in your carpool know the carpool name. The carpool name can be your last name (if it is the only one at the school), a street name, or something the children will remember.

Carpool Reminders:

• Speed limit is 25 mph on Tiebreaker Drive.
• Speed limit in the school parking lot is 5 mph.
• Do not drop off your children earlier than 8:15 am.
• Release time is at 3:30 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday's release time is at 12:35 Names will not be called until 3:31 pm.
• Do not block the John Adams intersection or the cul-de-sac east of the school.
• Please do not park in the parking lot and ask your children to pass in front of the loading cars.
• If you need to pick up your student before 3:30, please park and go into the office to have your child excused. However, we encourage you to arrive after 3:30 so students do not lose important classroom instruction time.
• Do not line up on Tiebreaker because the Ammon City Police will start ticketing cars. If you have to drive around the block and wait until the line has lessened please do so.

Bus Information:

The White Pine Charter School Board of Directors, administration, and bus driver would like you to know that we are dedicated to providing the safest transportation possible. It may surprise you to know that the school is not required to purchase buses for the transportation of the students. Therefore, please do not take the service for granted.

The transportation committee has designated 2 different routes. Two routes will be available for bringing children to school in the morning and taking children home in the evening. Since we will only have two buses, this plan will maximize the number of students that can utilize our buses.

Reimbursement for transportation from the state is awarded by participation; therefore it will be a requirement for any student registered for the bus to ride at least 80% of the time or at least 4 out of 5 days a week. Parents are responsible for supervision of their children while they wait at the bus stop in the morning and after they are delivered to their regular bus stop at the end of the day. Students are required to be at their bus stop five minutes before the scheduled arrival in the morning. Only those students that are registered to ride the bus may ride. Students may only ride on the route that they are registered for. If it becomes necessary to change a stop, the parent/guardian must inform White Pine and Teton Stage Lines (208-529-8036) at least 24 hours in advance.

Each parent who has child(ren) riding the bus has a more detailed letter with specific rules, routes, and suggestions. Please refer to this letter for more information or contact Peggy Sharp at 522-4432.

Child Find

Idaho Child Find is a service that finds and screens preschool children's growth and development, and informs older students with delays of available services. It is important to ask questions about your child's development when he/she is young, since that is the time of the greatest growth and development.

Preschool skills of thinking, moving, and talking form the foundation for later school success.

Does your child:

• Have difficulty interacting appropriately with peers?
• Have difficulty following/remembering directions?
• Become restless or have an excessive activity level?
• Have speech difficulties?
• Have behavior which differs significantly from peers?
• If these or other areas of behavior concern you, contact the school about its screening program and services available to those who qualify for special education.
