PowerSchool is single sign-on with your Ritenour Gmail. This means that you need to log into your Gmail account prior to access the PowerSchool website. The website to PowerSchool for Ritenour teachers is:

Please note that your view will look slightly different than the training site used in the videos. In addition, based on teacher feedback, some additional customizations were installed after the training.
Columns were added that show room number and student count. Lunch counts have been hidden.
A term filter dropdown was added so you can see classes in all terms and select which term you want to view.
There is also a link on the main page that will allow you to submit a referral and another link that will allow you to see the outcome of referrals that you have submitted.
A new customization was installed for the high school, middle schools, and the IWC. A red chair will display on the teachers meeting attendance page for any student who has had any type of attendance code entered into meeting or daily attendance previous to this class. Teachers can click on the red chair for additional information.
We have enabled some customizations that should allow for a workable solution to replace the Parent / Student Contact Log from Tyler plus a few additional items.
From the teacher homepage, click the Student Information link for a particular class. On the left side of the screen click Utility Dashboard. Click a student from the left side of the screen.
There will be three tabs on your screen (Log Entry, Test Results, and Graduation Planner View).
The Log Entry tab will allow you to view or create Parent Contact Logs and you are able to view logs created by any user. When you click New to create a log you want to select Parent Contact for log type. You just need to complete the first few lines and click submit. The rest of the lines should not be used. They are for historical discipline logs from Tyler (you can't see these).
The Test Results tab will show you assessment data for that student. This is a work in progress. Assessments are still being created and imported.
The Graduation Planner View table will show a high school student's progress towards graduation. This is a work in progress and should not be shared with students at this time.
