School Schedules Released for Beacon City School Students - Kids Are Thrilled - And Working Around The App Glitch

Student schedules and teacher assignments were dropped today by the Beacon City School District, and many kids were excited to receive the news. Those kids who have phones were already trying to log into the Portal and were checking Stories on social media of their friends to get the latest release.

When the schedule announcement went out, the text informed caregivers that the Parent Portal app was down, with a fix coming. Undeterred for what is one of the most anticipated days of the end of summer, students took to texting each other for alternative ways of finding the information, if they couldn’t see it in the Parent Portal App.

“Go to Safari!!” the kids texted to each other. The kids proved themselves resilient in the face of technology trouble and Mercury in Retrograde. Some went to the Safari browser on their phones to log in to the Parent Portal old style (https://powerschool.beaconk12.org/public/home.html).

In the time of “Pouch It” - ALBB’s term for the new partial ban on cell phones from the district that is very likely being voted in on Monday August 26th - the kids prove why it is important that they stay connected to each other - even if during a school day.
