Parents and guardians of students in the Bellefonte Area High School, Bellefonte Area Middle School and Elementary Schools grades 3 - 5 are able to view student progress through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. PowerSchool is our student information management system and is used to create student class schedules, take attendance, store grades, produce transcripts, report cards, and more. PowerSchool brings together teachers, students, parents and administrators in an easily used web-based data system. PowerSchool, and the parent portal, may be accessed from any place with Internet access.

NOTE: Access to the Parent Portal is a privilege and not a right. Abuse of the program can result in the loss of this privilege.

To access your students information you must complete and sign the "Bellefonte Area School District Parent Portal Acceptable Use Policy"
 
 
You can mail, fax, or drop off, the form to your child's guidance office.
Note: If you have children in both schools only one form is required and it can be sent to either school.

A new letter will be mailed to you with your login information. Login IDs and passwords will not be given out over the phone, or in an email, to protect the confidentiality of your son/daughters information.

Some notes about attendance codes:

UNV and UTD. We've been receiving a large number of calls concerning the attendance information. The main questions concern the UNV and UTD codes.

 

The UNV code is used to identify an Unverified absence, meaning at the time of attendance the teacher does not have an identified reason for the students absence. If a student is absent for an entire day then they are marked UNV for the entire day. The code will be updated when the school receives an excuse for the absence. If a student is marked UNV for a period or more, it can mean a number of things. The student may have left early or arrived late, or the student might have gone to another room or might not have gone to the class altogether. This is our way of tracking where students are throughout the day. 

 

Please Note: It may take a day or two for the attendance office to get the records updated in the system.  Please check with the student first and if there is a concern then please have the student contact the teacher or attendance office.

 

A UTD (Unexcused Tardy) code is used to identify a student that is late for school or late for a class. We would encourage you to talk with your child about the event before contacting the school.
