For Hamer Elementary and Terreton Elementary:
In order to do online or in-person registration, parents will need to be able to log in to PowerSchool. If you can't remember your log in information, you will need to either come to in-person registration or email our technology supervisor, Jon. reynaj@wjsd.org (Keep in mind that he will be helping at in-person registration, so there may be a delay in email responses.)
https://wjsd.powerschool.com/public/home.html
Our guidance counselor, Mr. Gemar, has created a couple of videos to help! The first video shows how to find the registration information on PowerSchool. The second video shows where you can pay online fees on PowerSchool. There is a 3% fee for using a credit card on this PowerSchool fee payment option. Fees can be paid with cash or check at registration or at the office of your child's school. NO VENMO PAYMENTS FOR REGISTRATION FEES! (There is an option to pay a $20 school supply fee for elementary students instead of paying more at the store!)
