PowerSchool Account Updates:

Beginning with the 22/23 school year, all schools within the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana will be utilizing PowerSchool for their Student Information System (SIS). Student Information Systems typically store student enrollment records, attendance data, grades, and many other statistics about the school. As part of this transition, OLMC will be moving from a single school version of PowerSchool to the new diocesan PowerSchool platform. This process began two years ago and is expected to be completed later this year.

OLMC school families may notice differences in the Parent and Enrollment portals of PowerSchool; we continue to work with the diocese to minimize the impact of those changes. Although the bulk of this project will not affect school families directly, we will communicate any changes affecting your PowerSchool experience as we are made aware of them. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting change!

NOTE: We anticipate school families will need to create a new PowerSchool parent account. Once we have more details, we will share instructions on how to complete this process.
