  Parent Resources

  Parents of students in the Petoskey Schools are welcomed and encouraged to get involved in classroom and building activities. We believe that parent and guardian involvement are directly related to student success.

  To keep parents informed, we have implemented PowerSchool that allows parents to view announcements, calendars, and even teacher grade books. Each parent has a password to the system. Training is provided to parents as needed by calling the building media center.

  This page also has links to other parent resources.
