Alma and Empower

Hello Shaker Regional Families,

Our District is utilizing two software platforms to house your student's information, Alma and Empower.

Alma 

Alma is our student information system that has your student's daily schedule, attendance, and contact information only. You will not see your student's grades in this system. This system is currently accessible to parents/guardians. If you have registered an email with your school, you should have received or will be receiving a welcome email from notifications@getalma.com.  The email will give directions on how to activate your account.

The welcome email looks similar to the following:

With your activated account, you can check your student's schedule, attendance and complete your student information forms or update your contact information during the school year.  If you have already activated your Alma account, you will not receive a new welcome email.

Empower

Empower is our learning management system used for grading and reporting. This system tracks your student's current progress in academic standards and work habits. This is where you can see your student's scores on individual standards, overall course scores (high school only) and Habits of Work scores. This system is currently not available to parents/guardians. However, I am pleased to inform you that we will be opening the parent portal on Friday, December 6^th.  Information will be mailed home on December 6th that will include your parent/guardian account login credentials as well as directions on how to navigate the system and what you can expect to see within the system. There will also be a set of video tutorials located on our website at www.sau80.org/departments/curriculum. This is a new system for grading and reporting and we ask for your patience and understanding as we, students, parents, teachers, and administrators, are all learning this system. We hope that the information you receive in the mail and the video tutorials on our website will answer many of your questions. For more information or help accessing the site after you receive your login credentials, please contact the school's main office.

Thank you.

Michael
