Where can I get my PowerSchool login and password? Contact the main office at Creekside (6th Grade) or main office at Mill Creek (7th grade.)
Do I have to have a recommendation form even for courses I'm listing as alternates? Yes. If the computer plugs in one of the alternate selections, we will check to see that the student has a recommendation to be in the class.
Where do I turn in the teacher recommendation form? Turn it in to the classroom teachers. They will get it delivered to Mill Creek.
Are you more likely to get the electives you want if you schedule sooner? No. As long as you submit your electives before the end of the scheduling window (March 19) it doesn't matter when you do it.

Can a student sign up for first semester only of choir and add the second semester later if they like it? For this class only if students sign up for Mill Creek Singers 1st semester and then decide they'd like to continue, we will allow them to go into 2nd semester choir. HOWEVER, this is a one-way door. Students cannot sign up for the year and then decide to drop choir 2nd semester.
What grade must a student have to get high school credit for foreign language? For each semester they need to have an 80% overall in the class or pass the semester exam with a 70% or greater.
I can't think of ten alternates I really want. What should I do? The computer will not accept your submission without the alternates. Students do sometimes get their alternate choices, so it’s important to include ones you will be okay with.
What if I'm taking music AND foreign language? Do I still have to pick 8 electives? No, but you should still pick ten alternates in case you don't get the foreign language.

We did our schedule but I wanted to verify that it all went through ok. The best way to check this would be to log in to power school, click on the class registration button, then go to the blue "View Course Requests" link at the top of the page right above the list of required classes. If they aren’t there, you weren’t successful.
I forgot to print my confirmation page. What should I do? Log in to PowerSchool and go to the scheduling page. At the top of the page in small blue print is a link that says "View Future Course Requests." Clicking that link will give you a page that looks like this. Verify that the courses you selected are there and print that page as your confirmation.
Why doesn't our confirmation sheet show a math class? All 6th grade (future 7th grade) confirmation sheets should show a math class. 7th graders (future 8th graders) will have their math class assigned at a later date based on placement results.
What if I changed my mind and want to make some changes in my schedule after I submitted it? As long as it's before the deadline, you can log back in, make whatever changes you want, and resubmit. Changes cannot be made after the registration window is closed.
