Good Afternoon SJH Loved Ones,
First, we want to apologize for the length of the lines and the amount of time it took to get through the lines at Meet the Teacher last night. We acknowledge that it did not work. It was frustrating for us as well, since we were not able to provide the level of service and communication that we expected. We will have a different and better system in place for next year.
As we prepare for the beginning of a great school year, here are some quick reminders about drop off, pick up, and frequently asked questions.

Can We Reach You? District Notification Test September 15
Being able to communicate with our families quickly and reliably is important—especially when the information is urgent.
On Tuesday, September 15 at 6:00 PM, Coweta Public Schools will conduct our annual Mass Notification Test. During the test, we will send a districtwide notification to help ensure our communication systems are working properly and that our families are connected.
Before September 15, we encourage every family to make sure you are connected to these important resources:
PowerSchool Parent Portal
The PowerSchool Parent Portal is where families can review and update important student and contact information, complete required forms, make online payments, and access other student information.
Every family should have an active Parent Portal account, regardless of the age or grade of your student.
➡️ Access the PowerSchool Parent Portal: https://powerschool.cowetaps.com
CowetaPS App
The CowetaPS app is our primary tool for school and district communication. It provides news, announcements, alerts, calendars, and messages from Coweta Public Schools—all in one place.
Make sure you are logged in and have notifications enabled so you don't miss important information from your child's school or the district.
➡️ Get connected with CowetaPS: Search for CowetaPS in the Apple or Android store.
Need Help? Our Technology Team Is Here
If you have trouble accessing the PowerSchool Parent Portal, connecting your students, logging into CowetaPS, or getting either service set up, you can now submit a Technology Help Ticket directly to our Technology Team.
You don't have to figure it out on your own. Send us a ticket and we'll help get you connected.
➡️ Submit a Parent Technology Help Ticket: https://www.cowetaps.org
Click on the Parent/Guardian Tech Ticket button on the black quick launch bar.
Our goal is simple: when Coweta Public Schools needs to communicate with you, we want to make sure we can reach you.
Please take a few minutes before September 15 at 6:00 PM to make sure you're connected and your information is current.
Thank you for helping us keep our Coweta Public Schools community connected.

Chromebook Grace Period Ends Monday — Protect Your Student’s Device
The two-week Chromebook grace period ends Monday.
Families have been given the first two weeks of school to identify and report any existing problems or damage with their student’s school-issued Chromebook. After Monday, students may be responsible for damage to their device that occurs during the school year.
Now is a great time to consider Chromebook insurance.
For a relatively small one-time cost, School Device Coverage can help protect families from a much larger unexpected expense. A Chromebook replacement can cost $218–$358, while coverage is available for $23 for the Chromebook alone or $28 for the Chromebook and charger.
Coverage includes accidental damage, cracked screens, liquid damage, loss and theft, with no deductible. Coverage runs through July 31, 2027.
Purchasing coverage is easy
Parents purchase coverage directly from School Device Coverage online. Please do not send money to your child’s school.
When completing the online form, you do not need to know your student’s Chromebook serial number. Simply enter TBD in the serial number field.
You can enroll online through School Device Coverage:
https://schooldevicecoverage.com/signup
One important reminder: Insurance is designed to cover future incidents. Existing damage or loss that is already present when coverage is purchased is not covered.
A little protection can prevent a big expense
Chromebooks go everywhere with our students, and accidents happen — backpacks get dropped, screens get cracked, and drinks get spilled. Device coverage gives families a simple and affordable way to protect themselves from potentially significant repair or replacement costs during the school year.
If you plan to purchase coverage, we encourage you to do so before an accident happens.

REPORTING AN ABSENCE
Parents/guardians should notify the school whenever a student will be absent.
Preferred Method – Online Absence Form
The preferred method for reporting a student absence is the online Report Absence form.
Submit the Report Absence form by clicking the REPORT ABSENCE button located on the homepage of your student's school website. Each school has a form specifically designed for its students to ensure the absence is reported directly to the appropriate attendance office.
The form is also available in the CowetaPS mobile app. Select your student's school, then navigate to More → Forms → Report Absence.
The form may be used to report both current and future absences. Please complete all requested information.
Alternate Method – Phone
Parents/guardians may call the school office and select Option 1 to leave a message for the Attendance Secretary. Please include:
Name of the person reporting the absence
Relationship to the student
Student's name
Student's grade
Reason for the absence
Timely notification helps the school maintain accurate attendance records and ensure student safety.

SJH was briefly placed on a Hold this afternoon due to a medical situation that required ambulance assistance. The hold was implemented as a precaution to ensure hallways remained clear while first responders provided care.
All students and staff are safe, and the appropriate parents were contacted directly regarding the situation. The hold has now been lifted, and school operations have returned to normal.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support as we always prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Please visit our school website for more information https://www.cowetaps.org/page/school-safety.

2026-2027 New Student Enrollment Now Open!
Coweta Public Schools is excited to announce that new student enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is now available online!
If your child has never attended Coweta Public Schools, you can begin the enrollment process by scanning the QR code on this graphic or visiting:
https://www.cowetaps.org/page/enrollment-information
How the New Student Enrollment Process Works
Complete and submit the online New Student Pre-Registration Form.
A separate form must be submitted for each student you wish to enroll.
Once submitted, a campus registrar will review and approve the pre-registration information.
After approval, the parent/guardian will receive an email with instructions for creating a PowerSchool Parent Portal account.
Through the Parent Portal, you will complete and submit the remaining required enrollment forms and documentation.
Important Reminder
Submitting the online pre-registration form does not complete enrollment. A student is not officially enrolled until:
All required forms have been completed,
All required documentation has been submitted,
And the enrollment has been reviewed and approved by district staff.
Summer Registration Office Schedule
Please note that school registration offices are typically closed from mid-June through the end of July. During this time, processing and approvals may take longer than normal.
We look forward to welcoming new students and families to Coweta Public Schools—Home of the Tigers!
Strong Schools. Strong Community. #cowetaDNA
