Purdy Teachers
How do I find out who my child's teacher is?
Please remember that we are still experiencing staffing changes due to district-wide enrollment changes. As a result, teacher placements aren't finalized until 9/2/20.
Your teacher can't wait to meet you! We appreciate your patience & understanding.

IMPORTANT MEAL INFORMATION
The Summer Meal Program runs through August 28th, 2020. Weekend meal kits will still be available for pickup on August 28th. The Summer Meal Service ends, and is not available from September 1st through September 7th 2020.
School Meals and pricing will take effect on the first day of school. We are now accepting and are encouraging families to submit applications for Free and Reduced Priced Meals for the 2020-2021 school year. Please refer to the Nutrition Information section below for application resources.
Student meals will be available for pick up prior to and during the school's scheduled lunch period. The meal pick up site does not need to be the school your student(s) are enrolled in.
If your student(s) will be regularly purchasing school meals from the 2020-21 School Meal Program as we begin remotely, please assist us by completing the School Year Meal Program Survey by September 1st.

Parent Portal
Do you need to update your child's emergency information? 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 2020-21 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.
- 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
