Student Information Update

Annual Consent and Review

The Annual Consent and Review period will begin JULY 1st.

Parents and guardians are required to review several district policies and directives within the PowerSchool Parent Portal before the beginning of each school year.
During the month of July parents have the opportunity to enter/update information on the Student Contact Information page, Digital Locker, Health Form, and Athletics page.

Please note: If you haven’t already done so, please log in immediately to update/review your student information.
Even if your contact information remains the same, there is a parent sign-off for the Student Contact Information page plus several acknowledgements that are required every year. 

 

OVERVIEW
The Annual Student Information Update Process replaces a number of forms that in the past, parents/guardians had to review, complete, sign and send back to the school. The site provides a place for online entry, and integrates with our other systems. The streamlined, paper-free process has not only saved our district time and money, but has also improved the accuracy of our data.

Parents and guardians access the pages within the PowerSchool Parent Portal to update and review their student and family information. It is critical for this information to be up to date in the unlikely event of an emergency. The site also provides a place for parents to acknowledge receipt of information and policies, sign up for Athletic programs, and update contact information for receiving parent/guardian email and phone messages. 

 

REVIEWING and UPDATING CONTACT INFORMATION
The Student Information pages within PowerSchool are populated with your student's current information. You are requested to review/update the following web pages – Student Contact Information, Digital Locker, Health Information and Athletics** .  Once you have completely reviewed and updated a page, please check the box at the bottom, then click the Submit button. Once you have completed all 3 (or 4) pages, your student's data will be submitted for processing and your Annual Student Info Update process is complete.  It is important for the district to maintain accurate contact information for each student and parent/guardian(s) throughout the year. Following the initial update window each July, parents/guardians may return to the parent portal and update contact information (email addresses, phone numbers and text numbers) whenever necessary. 

*Certain changes, such as your home address or changes in legal guardianship, will require confirmation via documentation, which must be provided to the registrar at your student’s school.. Complete all changes on-line first and then contact the registrar for other changes. 

** WMS & BHS only.  The HEALTH INFORMATION page must be completed before the ATHLETICS page.

PARENT NOTIFICATION
The Student Contact Information page in the parent portal, contains the phones numbers and email addresses used to update by our School Messenger parent notification system. The district currently uses School Messenger to communicate both routine messages (i.e. school events and reminders) as well as emergency messages (school closures or other serious safety concerns) to parents and guardians. The parent notification system allows the school district to communicate information in an effective and timely manner.  

**Please note, if you are having trouble receiving notification emails, please add bps_communications@brookfieldps.org to your email Contacts or Address Book. Also, check your spam/junk mail folder for emails from that address, and add it to your "safe" senders list” to ensure that emails from the School Messenger parent notification system are successfully delivered to your Inbox.

 

FAQ
I have already updated the information for one of my children. Why must the update be performed individually for each student?
There is important information which needs to be reviewed and acknowledged for each student individually, such as Medical Information, Emergency Contact Information, Handbooks and Athletics. Therefore, it is necessary to log in and perform the review and update for each student.

How do I contact if I have additional questions?
For further assistance, please call your student's school.

When trying to complete the ATHLETIC FORM, I get the message The HEALTH INFORMATION page must be updated and submitted before completing this page.
There are many fields on the HEALTH page that are required for ATHLETICS, therefore before the ATHLETICS page is viewable, you must SUBMIT the Health form.
