PowerSchool is the student information system (SIS) for Earlham CSD and contains all student information, grade and attendance data. Students and parents/guardians may view grades, scores, schedules, lunch balances and pay fees in PowerSchool. After creating an account, parents can log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal at earlham.powerschool.com/public or through the PowerSchool App.
Schoology is our learning management system (LMS) that enables our students, parents/guardians and teachers to engage with learning materials and their school groups. With Schoology, students may view course materials, submit homework assignments, review feedback, participate in discussions, receive announcements, take assessments, and more. Parents/guardians may view their students’ courses within Schoology to learn more about assignments, due dates and other important class information. Groups may be utilized by teachers or coaches to share information with clubs, teams, or committee work as well. After creating an account, parents will log into Schoology at https://app.schoology.com/login or using the Schoology App.
