Wellesley Public Schools

Each year, it is essential for the Wellesley Public Schools to confirm the emergency contact information, directory information, and other important permissions for each of our students. The Wellesley Public Schools uses PowerSchool, an online platform, to maintain these data. The PowerSchool Parent Portal will be open August 5 at 12:00 noon through August 30, 2019. All parents/guardians must log in during this time and confirm this important information.  Again this year the Homeroom information for the 2019-2020 school year will be available for grade K-8 students after the completion of the parent portal forms for each student in a family. As in prior years, class lists will not be shared due to security and privacy laws (see MGL 603 CMR 23.00 for more information).

This will be discussed at the School Committee Meeting on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, 6:30PM at the Kingsbury Room, Police Department, 485 Washington Street.
