PowerSchool is a web-based student information system that allows parents and district staff the ability to monitor the progress of each student based on attendance, grades, and other information. This free service is available for the parents of students from kindergarten through graduation.
Parents, you are encouraged to use this powerful tool as a way to follow the day-to-day progress of your student. Check attendance, keep an eye on daily assignments, and track grades, all from any computer with internet access.
To receive your login for the first time, please contact the office at your child's school.

Parents and guardians of Eudora Schools students receive immediate broadcasts of urgent information on the phone, thanks to a service that allows a recorded message to be delivered to as many as thousands of phones in the community very quickly. The system enables district and school personnel to simultaneously notify all households and parents by phone within minutes of an emergency or unplanned event that might cause early dismissal, school cancellation or late start. Messages are in the voice of a principal or someone else from the district and include all pertinent information about the emergency.
Parents need not register for the service; home or primary numbers collected on enrollment forms will be used. To indicate additional numbers, such as a cell phone or work number, use the Emergency Phone Broadcast Information Form, available in the enrollment forms list above, or at your child's school office. Personal information and contact numbers are strictly secure and confidential, and families will not receive any non-school messages as a result of this service.
For more information about how the broadcast system is used by the district, and to learn more about how to get the most out of it at home, review the information sheet. In case of "snow day" closings in the evening or early morning, calling times will be limited to those outlined in this procedure.
Did you know that all Eudora High School students have access to the tremendous resources of the Cardinal Career Center? Whether it's exploring opportunities for college and career paths or preparing for the ACT or SAT, the Cardinal Career Center can help. For an overview of the services offered, click here.
