What is Student Contacts?

Student Contacts is an update to PowerSchool SIS that allows for greater flexibility in the type and amount of Parent/Guardians and Emergency Contacts that are connected to your child(ren). It will also unify your contact information across all of your children in the Division.

---

What will change for me?

Your information will now be unified across all schools in the Division that you are connected to (as a parent/guardian or emergency contact). Instead of having data entered at each school, you will have one set of contact information. Schools will be able to connect your information to your child(ren) at each school, whether you are a Parent, Guardian or Emergency Contact.
