Access

Parents and guardians of district students are able to view grades and attendance through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. PowerSchool is the district's student information management system and is used to create student class schedules, take attendance, store grades, produce transcripts, report cards, and more. Access to the Parent Portal will typically be activated two weeks before the start of school.

*Access to the ParentPortal is a privilege and not a right. Abuse of the program can result in the loss of this privilege.

BASD Parent Portal Access Request Form

You can mail, fax or drop off, the form to your child's guidance office. If you have children in more than one school, only one form is required and it can be sent to either school.

A letter will be mailed to you with log-in information. Log-in IDs and passwords will not be given out on the phone nor by email to protect the confidentiality of your child's information. Parents must sign and return the district's ParentPortal acceptable use policy prior to receiving log-in information. If you did not receive, or you lose your username and password, please contact the guidance office at your child's school.

It is recommended that parents use the PowerSchool mobile app. The app provides easy access to grades and attendance and offers a variety of notifications for missing work and grade changes. The free app is available for Android (Google Play) and iOS (Apple) devices. Our district code is RJLC.

UNV and UTD. The district has received a large number of calls concerning the attendance information. The main questions concern the UNV and UTD codes.

• The UNV (Unverified) code is used to identify an unverified absence, meaning at the time of attendance, the teacher does not have an identified reason for the students' absence. If a student is absent for an entire day, then they are marked UNV for the entire day. The code will be updated when the school receives an excuse for the absence. If a student is marked UNV for a period or more, it can mean a number of things. The student may have left early or arrived late, or the student might have gone to another room or might not have gone to class. This is the district's way of tracking where students are throughout the day. 

• A UTD (Unexcused Tardy) code is used to identify a student that is late for school or late for a class. We would encourage you to talk with your child about the event before contacting the school.

• It may take a day or two for the attendance office to get the records updated in the system. Please check with the student first, and if there is a concern, please have the student contact the teacher or attendance office.
