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 General Forms and Enrollment 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."
WHAT IF MY STUDENT'S FORM ALREADY HAS A "SUBMITTED" OR "APPROVED" CHECK MARK BESIDE IT? DO I STILL NEED TO VIEW OR EDIT THAT FORM?
Yes. If the form is marked as "Submitted" or "Approved" but shows a date/timestamp of completion 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 date/timestamp that reflects your most recent verification.
WHEN SHOULD I UPDATE MY STUDENT'S INFORMATION?
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.
