We're new to powerschool this year as well. At the "Navigating The Middle School Experience" event our school held for parents the first week of school, the principal basically told parents not to get obsessed with Powerschool and that we'd be best off signing up for weekly emails and not checking daily!

I do believe there's a way to see assigments -- I think it's embedded in the My Calendars section -- but I haven't played around with it yet. I'm trying to control my obsessive nature. wink
