Quarter 1 Student Evaluations
K-5 student evaluations for Quarter 1 are now available in the Powerschool Parent Portal. We ask that parents please log on to the parent portal to view your child's evaluations. The portal will be opened temporarily for you to view your students' report card(s).
- If your child was a student at Archway Trivium last year, you will use the same login as last year.
- If you have new students for the 2026-27 school year (example: returning 4th grader but a new kindergartener or new from outside of the Great Hearts network), you received an email with their Access ID and Password information to add them to your existing account on August 27, 2026.
- If you are new to Archway Trivium this year but attended another Great Hearts school last year, you will still use the same login and password that you used last year.
You can access the Powerschool Parent Portal website here. We have found that using Google Chrome or Firefox as your web browser is best. Please reach out to Stefany Dean at sdean@archwaytrivium.org if you have any questions about your Powerschool Parent Portal account.

If you know of parents who are not receiving these communications, please ask them to check their junk/promotions email folders, and then email bmcdonald@archwaytrivium.org for assistance.
You can also find all school-wide communications on our website on the Latest News page.
