PowerSchool & Ruvna

• The PowerSchool parent portal will open after students’ schedules are finalized, on Monday, August 5, 2024.
• The mandatory PowerSchool Student Update form can be accessed on Monday, August 5, 2024, in the PowerSchool parent portal. For the safety and security of our students, it is imperative that we have the most current information about your child in our student information system. As a reminder, the Fox Chapel Area School District requires online submission of the PowerSchool Student Update for each student. Once logged in to the PowerSchool parent portal, you can click on “PowerSchool Student Update” on the left-hand navigation menu to complete the information. Be sure to click “Submit” when the form is completed. Should you need any assistance completing the PowerSchool Student Update, please fill out a Community Help Desk ticket at go.fcasd.edu/community-help or reach out directly to Jill Leonard, community engagement specialist, at jill_leonard@fcasd.edu.

How do I get started?

The mandatory PowerSchool Student Update form can be accessed on Monday, August 5, 2024, in the PowerSchool parent portal. Once logged in to the PowerSchool parent portal, you can click on “PowerSchool Student Update" on the left-hand navigation menu to complete the information.

Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a red (REQUIRED) are required. 

What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change prior to submitting the form, you can either navigate back to the page using the “< Prev” and “Next >” buttons, or if you are on the Review page, click on the underlined field. If you have already submitted the form you will need to contact your student’s school so they can make the changes for you.

I’ve completed the form. Now what?
Once you have finished entering your information click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.

What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes. You will need to provide information that is specific to each child. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another. This will allow you to “snap” (or share) selected family information, which saves you time.

When will I see my child’s schedule and/or teacher assignments?
You will be able to login to the PowerSchool Parent Portal to see your child’s courses and teacher(s) beginning on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
