PowerSchool Upgrade Coming Soon
For the 2018-2019 school year, Bishop Watterson will be upgrading PowerSchool to PowerSchool Unified Classroom. The upgrade will be much more user-friendly for both students and parents with many new features including ONE login for both the gradebook and PowerSchool Learning with assignments and class calendars.

Students will sign into PowerSchool Unified Classroom using their existing Bishop Watterson bwhs.org email account. Freshmen will receive their email accounts on the first day of classes.

Parents will need to create a user login based on their existing PowerSchool login credentials.
NOTE: The update will take place during August. Once the update has taken place, all parents will need to go through this process in order to access their PowerSchool accounts.
Instructional videos to help with your initial sign-in, as well as other useful information, will be available by clicking on the PowerSchool button at the top of our homepage. Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to the school year!  
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.
