Another PowerSchool hint: You can email your child's teacher by simply clicking on their teacher's name within PowerSchool. This will open your desktop email program, for example; Microsoft's Outlook or Apple's Mail program. This function does not work with web based email like Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc. However, you can copy and paste the teacher's email address into the web based mail address line.
