EMERGENCY CARD UPDATE - REQUIRED
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR. FOLLOW THE BELOW INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1
- Click HERE to access the Parent Portal
- If you've never created an online PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you will need to create an account now using information provided above.
- If you already have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you can sign in using the email and password you chose when setting up your account and complete the Emergency Contact Update & Required Student Waivers. (You can use the same account to complete forms for multiple children).
STEP 2
- Sign in to the portal. Click on "Forms" on bottom left side of screen.
- Click on the "Enrollment" tab at the top
- Work through each form (5 total) to update all required information. Once completed, click 'Submit'.
***Please note that failure to update your child’s emergency information and electronically sign the Student Waiver Forms may restrict them from participation in extracurricular activities, class field trips and use of technology during non-class time.***
For those that recently registered a new student to WPUSD, you do not need to complete this process, as it was done during the new student registration process. If you have not set up a Parent Portal account, you should have received an email from the District with detailed instructions on how to set up your account. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 916-645-6350.

IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
If you need to report your student's absence you need to contact our attendance clerk, Maritza, with the reason for their absence. There are several ways to do this that are the most efficient ways: email: Mpisik@wpusd.org with your student's name and reason for absence (if they are sick you need to let us know what their symptoms are and for how long they have had them), respond to the email attendance alert via Parent Square OR the TBE app, or you can call the attendance message line directly at 916-434-5210. We have a very busy front office so if you could report your absence one of the ways above it would greatly help free up the phone lines for those needing to call. It's always a good idea to send a quick email to the teachers as well so they are aware of the absence.
For those students who are out sick: if they are going to be absent more than 2-3 days due to illness, please let us know so we can have you sign an "Independent Study" so the teacher can give them their class work so they don't get behind while they are absent.
TRAVEL STUDIES...WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
If your student is going to be out of town and absent for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14 days, you will need to inform the front office of this absence no later than 1-2 weeks prior to leaving (the more time the better). Once the office has been informed, they will email you a travel study contract to electronically sign and will notify the teacher of the absence so they can get together all the work needed.
Teachers are very busy getting together needed work, so please be patient and give ample time before going on vacation.
*TRAVEL/INDEPENDENT STUDIES ARE NOT ALLOWED DURING THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF SCHOOL OR LAST 3 WEEKS OF SCHOOL.
