On the Horizon at Harbor Heights
September 5th
A Message from the Principal...
We are so glad you are here! What a treat to meet many new families this week - and to reconnect with friends and families who have returned back to HH.
Thank you to those of you who have made connections with teachers, other parents of your child's classmates, and our VPO. Our BIG fUNdraiser for the year, sponsored by our VPO, started today with our kickoff assembly where we reviewed school-wide expectations and sang the classic "Harbor Heights" song.

GENERAL VPO MEETING
Dropping off students - Parking Procedures
Administrators will begin to get the parent pick up line moving by 8:50 (hopefully sooner). Please help us by not releasing a child from a car prior to supervision being in place, we will open the vehicle door, and invite the student(s) in to the gym to be released at 8:50.

PARENT PORTAL
Do you need to update your child's emergency information? This is a critical step in ensuring you receive our emails and important updates as well as having the proper information to contact you in an emergency. Here's how you get started!
How do I get started? Please note depending on the device you are using things may look different!
- Visit powerschool.psd401.net/public and log into your ParentPortal account.
- Select the student you wish to register along the top
- Click the 2018-19 Emergency Contact Update link from the left menu
- If this is the first time you are logging in you will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions - Click begin forms
- You will be asked to enter the date of birth for the student whose form you are working on
Login Tips/Troubleshooting PowerSchool ParentPortal:
- Forgot your login credentials? select the “Forgot username or Password?” link on the Sign In page.
- To create your Parent Portal account, contact your school directly (for High Schools please call the Counseling Office).
- Still having trouble signing in to your existing account, email: powerschool@psd401.net.
Completing your Emergency Contact Update:
- Do I have to answer all the questions? Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
- What if I make a mistake? If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “< Prev” to return to a previous page.
- I don’t know what a question is asking. You can contact powerschool@psd401.net to ask any general questions about the form or the Emergency Contact Update process.
I’ve completed the form, now what?
When 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, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one Emergency Contact Update and then start another – this will allow you to “snap over” shared family information, which will save you time.
Having trouble? Please email powerschool@psd401.net
