Annual Student Information Update

Annual Student Information Updates must be completed online each school year for returning Joplin Schools students. These updates are an annual requirement by the State of Missouri and are an important way for the district to maintain accurate contact information in case of emergency, school closure, or other updates.

HOW DO I UPDATE MY STUDENT'S INFORMATION?

  1. Parents or Guardians should log into their Parent Portal account in PowerSchool.
  2. Once logged in and on your child's Student Page, navigate to the Forms tab on the left sidebar.
  3. Navigate to the All Forms tab, then click on each form title and verify the information in each form is correct or make changes as needed. All forms must be filled out completely.
  4. Check the "verify" box at the bottom of each form, then click "submit."

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions about performing Annual Student Information Updates in PowerSchool. For more help, please contact your building secretary. 

 

  • Yes. If the form is marked as "Submitted" or "Approved" but shows a Last Entry Timestamp during the previous school year, that form needs to be verified for the current school year. Once updated, verified and submitted, you will notice a new Last Entry Timestamp that reflects your most recent verification.

     

  • Annual student information updates work best when submitted prior to the start of the new school year, but you are encouraged to make changes as needed throughout the school year, especially in the case of new living arrangements or contact information. If you are completing your updates prior to the start of school, school secretaries will be in the building starting around August 1 each year to assist with information update or PowerSchool login questions.

     

  • No, you may also choose to access the PowerSchool Parent Portal in a web browser. However, using PowerSchool on a mobile (cell phone) web browser often is not as user-friendly. The app is the most user-friendly way to update student forms.
     

  • Yes. At the bottom of most forms, you will have the option to "Submit for Family." Forms on additional students will not show an updated Last Entry timestamp until school staff have approved updates on your initial student's forms, so don't be alarmed if those updates are not automatically visible on all of your students's forms. If updates are still not visible by the time school starts, please contact your school secretary or manually make updates on each of your students's forms.
     

  • Students in 7th-12th grades will log into their own PowerSchool Student account on their Chromebook or in their PowerSchool app. They will click on Forms, then be prompted to the only forms they have access to - the MSHSAA forms. If students need help, their coach or activity sponsor can help them complete their forms.
     

  • No. Students do not currently have access to any forms besides the MSHSAA forms, and will not be able to change any contact, demographic, or household information.
