Musical Groups Pay Through PowerSchool
We are excited for famiies in chorus, band, and orchestra to begin practicing. If you have not already done so, please pay for your musical program through our PowerSchool parent portal platform.
We just recently switched over to a new parent portal platform, which may be why some families have been unable to pay their musical fee. Music fees are paid through PowerSchool NOT RevTrak. If you have not set up an account under the new parent portal, please follow these directions:
Click on the “Forgot Username or Password” link.
On the next screen, click on the “Forgot Username?” tab, enter the email address you previously used for logging into the Parent Portal/Unified Classroom, and click “Enter.”
You will then receive an email from powerschool@d103.org containing your username (the email may end up in your spam/junk email). This email may take several minutes to arrive.
Next, go back to https://d103.powerschool.com/public and click on the “Forgot Username or Password” link again.
This time, select the “Forgot Password?” tab, enter the username you just received in the email, then enter the email address you previously used for logging into the Parent Portal/Unified Classroom.
You will then receive an email from powerschool@d103.org containing a link to reset your password (the email may end up in your spam/junk email). This email may take several minutes to arrive. Please follow the directions in the email for resetting your password.
After resetting your password, return to https://d103.powerschool.com/public, enter your username and password, and you should then have access to the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

ASA Registration
Plans Change? Send a Note
Should your child's after school plans veer from their normal routine, please send a "paper" note to school with your child.
Note for Pre-Arranged Plans Should Include:
Date
Child's name
Teacher's name
Details, such as "being picked up by parent and will not be riding the bus home after school" or "will not attend 103 Club and will take the bus home", etc.
The teacher reviews the note in the morning and sends it to the office.
The office makes copies of the notes for reference at the end of the day.
The original note is then sent back to the classroom at 2:00 p.m. so the child has the note as a reminder at the end of the day.
Please use a "Note from Home" provided by the PTO. Yellow note pads are sold by our PTO and are available in the school office for purchase.

Lincolnshire–Prairie View School District 103 and all of its schools have many opportunities to recognize and showcase students’ work, accomplishments, and activities throughout the year using photos of students, providing name recognition on the website, media, newsletters, and/or publishing copies of their work. This may take the form of print newsletters, video, social media (names are withheld), websites, email notices, newspaper articles, etc.
If you approve of having your student’s photo, name, and/or student work published, please DO NOT fill this form out.
