Parent Discipline Policy Acknowledgement Form
Each year, the state requires schools to share their Discipline Policy with parents and guardians and to collect proof that it has been reviewed. This year, we’re collecting that acknowledgement through PowerSchool.
Here’s how to complete it:
- Log in to your parent PowerSchool account at maeserprep.guardian.powerschool.com.
- In the left-hand menu, click Forms (it’s the 7th option down).
- Open the Parent Discipline Policy Acknowledgement Form under Annual Forms.
- Click the link in the form to view the Discipline Policy.
- Return to the form, check the acknowledgement box, and open the small triangle menu to choose Submit for Family.
- Make sure all of your students are selected, then click Submit.
- You should see a confirmation message that says “Submission Complete.” If you don’t, please log in again later and try resubmitting.
