PowerSchool Parent Portal

PowerSchool is the Student Information System used in Joplin Schools. All custodial parents and guardians have access to a PowerSchool Parent Portal. In this account, parents and guardians will provide annual enrollment updates, update contact information and medical information as necessary, complete MSHSAA forms, view student attendance and grades, and more.
