About Us

Online Grade Access

Do you wonder what your child is doing in school, if he/she is counted present, or what grades your student is receiving? 

You can access this information and much more with the PowerSchool Mobile App.  You can signup for all of your children under one account. You can also receive real-time push updates anytime a grade or attendance is updated. Check out the PowerSchool Mobile site for more information. This is available for Apple and Android devices.

You can also access the same information through your computer, by accessing https://carteret.powerschool.com/public/

If you have never set up a parent account, there are just a few security steps to verify parental status and get access:

1.  Complete the Parental Request Form for Access and send in with your child or deliver to your school office. (One is needed for each child, if at different schools.) 

2.  Stop by the school and show your state-issued picture ID.  (You must be a parent or legal guardian to receive access.)

3.  Your school will issue you a sheet similar to the one linked HERE.

4.  Go to a computer with internet access and complete the Parent Portal Instructions.
