PowerSchool Unified Classroom is LIVE
 
All parents will need to create a PowerSchool Unified Classroom Account and link it to their existing PowerSchool account in order to log in for the first time. Students will log in using their Bishop Watterson issued bwhs.org email account.

Initial Login Videos

Once parents and students have logged into their Unified Classroom account for the first time, please go to classroom.powerschool.com for all subsequent logins. It may be a good idea to bookmark this page!

ATTENTION FRESHMEN: You will receive your bwhs.org email account on the first day of school, so you will not be able to log in to PowerSchool until then. Once freshman parents link their new Unified Classroom account with their existing PowerSchool login, they will be able to login and look at classes and schedules before the first day of class.
For more information, make sure to check our Unified Classroom page .

New Classroom Management Software for 2018-19
Bishop Watterson will be implementing Dyknow Classroom Management Software for the coming 2018-2019 school year.  This software will allow for more efficient online testing, as well as ensuring that students stay on-task during their class time.

Why implement DyKnow Cloud?
  • Our school purchased DyKnow Cloud to provide teachers and administrators with tools to measure popular websites and applications, and guide student choices during class.
Who monitors students?
  • Your student's teachers and administrators have access to monitor school owned and managed student devices during the school day with DyKnow Cloud.
What do teachers see, and what information is recorded?
  • Teachers see an image of each student's screen and the website or application the student is using. After class, teachers can access reports showing students' website history and app usage, including how often and for how long each website or app was accessed.
When do teachers monitor?
  • Teachers are able to monitor on weekdays during traditional school hours.
How can I get involved?
  • Ask your student's teacher(s) for a copy of your student's Class Analytics report. You'll see the awesome resources your student is using to learn during school, and you'll be equipped for a conversation on Digital Citizenship and responsible technology use.
