WTA PARENT PORTAL

All parents should have received a notice from the school on how to access current grades and attendance for all of our students via the PowerSchool Portal.  These letters provided instructions needed for parents to create individual PowerSchool accounts.

Through the PowerSchool portal, academic progress can be tracked from any location that has Internet access.  If you do not have Internet access, the public library has computers for public use. If you have any questions regarding the use of PowerSchool or did not receive a letter for access, please contact Mrs. Wingate in Student Services at 413-572-6533 extension 60009 or e-mail at l.wingate@schoolsofwestfield.org.
