We have been notified several parents received some odd "test" notifications from the PowerSchool app this morning. We reached out to PowerSchool, and they told us their "Mobile App Team was conducting tests for the new mobile app's notification system, and unfortunately, this inadvertently triggered a test notification".
If you received the notificaiton, you can ignore it.
As winter weather season approaches, please read this announcement on ways to stay informed of delays and closures for SCS.
