Mobile App Notifications Setup

When you install the PowerSchool mobile app on your phone, you will be asked if push notifications should be allowed for the PowerSchool app. Hopefully, you selected Yes/OK for that setting. If you did not or are not sure, go into your phone's settings and find the PowerSchool app icon, tap on it, tap on Notifications, then turn them on.

A notification will "pop up" on your phone for any event for your student, such as being marked absent or tardy, turning in an assignment, receiving an assignment grade, and several others.
