Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

  • I have an account, but have forgotten my password. How do I get it back or reset it? If you have already created an account and have lost or forgotten your username or password the system will email that info back to the email address used at the time the account was created. To do this go to https://norridge80.guardian.powerschool.com and click FORGOT USERNAME OR PASSWORD?
  • What is PowerSchool? PowerSchool is our student information system. It allows schools to manage information such as attendance, demographics, student and teacher schedules, etc. Since Powerschool is web-based, some of this information can easily, but safely be shared with parents and students through Parent Portal. Parent Portal is also the way to set your school broadcast notifications preferences.
  • What web browsers are recommended? The latest version of Chrome is recommended.
  • Do I need a separate login for each of my children? Each child will be assigned a unique AccessID and Password. You create your own account through and can link multiple student accounts to your own account.
  • What can I see on the PowerSchool site? Parents can access the following information: attendance for the past two weeks or the current quarter, teachers comments, as well as email links to teachers and more.
  • Is this system secure? Absolutely. In fact, your child's safety and privacy are our greatest priorities. The Parent Portal is hosted through PowerSchool, our secure student information system. Your child's records can only be accessed by authorized school officials and those with whom you share your password.
  • I have questions about the information found regarding my child's information in PowerSchool. Who should I contact? Please visit with your child about your concerns, if appropriate, and then contact your child's teacher by phone or by email, if needed.
  • There is an item within PowerSchool about registering for classes. Will I be able to use this? Please contact our District Registrar, Tammy Dicintio, at (708)583-2068 with any questions regarding registration.
  • How often are grades updated online? As of fall 2018 we moved to standards based grading.  We are not recording grades in PowerSchool.  Contact your child's teacher to determine the best way to track progress.
  • How do I cancel the MyPowerHub account? Send an email from the account that is registered to tdicintio@norridge80.net indicating you would like your MyPowerHub account disabled. Be sure to include school, names of students, and homeroom of each student.
