Can We Reach You? District Notification Test September 15

Being able to communicate with our families quickly and reliably is important—especially when the information is urgent.

On Tuesday, September 15 at 6:00 PM, Coweta Public Schools will conduct our annual Mass Notification Test. During the test, we will send a districtwide notification to help ensure our communication systems are working properly and that our families are connected.

Before September 15, we encourage every family to make sure you are connected to these important resources:

PowerSchool Parent Portal

The PowerSchool Parent Portal is where families can review and update important student and contact information, complete required forms, make online payments, and access other student information.

Every family should have an active Parent Portal account, regardless of the age or grade of your student.

➡️ Access the PowerSchool Parent Portal: https://powerschool.cowetaps.com

CowetaPS App

The CowetaPS app is our primary tool for school and district communication. It provides news, announcements, alerts, calendars, and messages from Coweta Public Schools—all in one place.

Make sure you are logged in and have notifications enabled so you don't miss important information from your child's school or the district.

➡️ Get connected with CowetaPS: Search for CowetaPS in the Apple or Android store.

Need Help? Our Technology Team Is Here

If you have trouble accessing the PowerSchool Parent Portal, connecting your students, logging into CowetaPS, or getting either service set up, you can now submit a Technology Help Ticket directly to our Technology Team.

You don't have to figure it out on your own. Send us a ticket and we'll help get you connected. 

➡️ Submit a Parent Technology Help Ticket:  https://www.cowetaps.org 
Click on the Parent/Guardian Tech Ticket button on the black quick launch bar.

Our goal is simple: when Coweta Public Schools needs to communicate with you, we want to make sure we can reach you.

Please take a few minutes before September 15 at 6:00 PM to make sure you're connected and your information is current.

Thank you for helping us keep our Coweta Public Schools community connected.

Chromebook Grace Period Ends Monday — Protect Your Student’s Device

The two-week Chromebook grace period ends Monday.

Families have been given the first two weeks of school to identify and report any existing problems or damage with their student’s school-issued Chromebook. After Monday, students may be responsible for damage to their device that occurs during the school year.

Now is a great time to consider Chromebook insurance.

For a relatively small one-time cost, School Device Coverage can help protect families from a much larger unexpected expense. A Chromebook replacement can cost $218–$358, while coverage is available for $23 for the Chromebook alone or $28 for the Chromebook and charger.

Coverage includes accidental damage, cracked screens, liquid damage, loss and theft, with no deductible. Coverage runs through July 31, 2027.

Purchasing coverage is easy

Parents purchase coverage directly from School Device Coverage online. Please do not send money to your child’s school.

When completing the online form, you do not need to know your student’s Chromebook serial number. Simply enter TBD in the serial number field.

You can enroll online through School Device Coverage:

One important reminder: Insurance is designed to cover future incidents. Existing damage or loss that is already present when coverage is purchased is not covered.

A little protection can prevent a big expense

Chromebooks go everywhere with our students, and accidents happen — backpacks get dropped, screens get cracked, and drinks get spilled. Device coverage gives families a simple and affordable way to protect themselves from potentially significant repair or replacement costs during the school year.

If you plan to purchase coverage, we encourage you to do so before an accident happens.

Your Back-to-School Family Checklist

As we prepare to welcome students back on Thursday, August 13, Coweta Public Schools has made it easier than ever for families to find important information and stay connected.

Whether you're enrolling a new student, checking grades, looking for school supply lists, reporting an absence, or staying up to date on district news, our website, Parent Resource Hub, PowerSchool Parent Portal, and CowetaPS app work together to connect families with the information and resources they need throughout the school year.

Before the first day of school, take a few minutes to make sure your family is ready.

✓ Visit the Parent Resource Hub

Our Parent Resource Hub is a great starting point for many of the questions families have before school begins and throughout the year.

You'll find helpful resources including:

• School supply lists

• Bus transportation information

• Child Nutrition and meal information

• District calendar and important dates

• Student handbooks and district policies

• Attendance reporting information

✓ Log in to Your PowerSchool Parent Portal

Every Coweta family should log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal before school begins.

PowerSchool will serve several important functions for families this year. In addition to providing access to student information, the Parent Portal is where families will complete important district forms and agreements.

Through the Parent Portal, families can:

• Complete required annual forms, including the Student Acceptable Use Policy and Electronic Device Loan Agreement

• Verify important student and family information

• View grades, attendance, schedules, and report cards

• Access other important student information throughout the school year

Don't wait until you need it. Take a few minutes before August 13 to make sure you can successfully log in to your Parent Portal account.

If you haven't created an account, have forgotten your login information, or need help connecting your student, visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal page on our website for instructions and assistance.

✓ Download the CowetaPS app

The CowetaPS app is one of the easiest ways to stay connected with your child's school and Coweta Public Schools throughout the year.

Use the app to keep up with:

• District and school news

• Upcoming events and calendars

• Important announcements

• School and district notifications

Search for CowetaPS in your device's app store to get started.

✓ Know Where to Get Help

Still have questions? Contact your child's school directly. Campus contact information is available by selecting Schools at www.cowetaps.org.

For help with PowerSchool, Chromebooks, the CowetaPS app, or other district technology, please submit a Technology Help Desk ticket.

You can always find the Technology Help Desk using the quick link on the www.cowetaps.org homepage.

We look forward to welcoming our Tigers back on August 13!
