POWERSCHOOL STUDENT AND PARENT ACCOUNT ACCESS

September 6, 2024

Dear Gilpin School Community Members,

We want to address the delay in the delivery of our new student information system (SIS), PowerSchool. While we had originally anticipated an early August release, unforeseen circumstances caused a setback in our delivery schedule for students, parents, and teachers.

We understand how important access to your child’s attendance and course grades are to you and your child(ren), and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this delay has caused. The team has been working nights and weekends to provide PowerSchool access to students, parents, and teachers as quickly as possible. We truly value your patience and understanding in this matter.

Thank you for your continued support of the school and for giving us the opportunity to serve you and your children.

Best regards,

Gilpin PowerSchool Team
