Enews Emails

For the past couple of years we have been using the email addresses from Power School as our source for sending enews and other important class communications electronically.  If your student graduates, advances from middle to high school, their information will get updated along with their student records.  If you “opt out”, you will not get any communications to that email address for any of your children throughout the district, even if you attempt to register to the enews system. 

If you have "opted out" of receiving enews, please email jstephenson@birmingham.k12.mi.us indicating that you would like to be reinstated on Blackboard Connect.  Thank you!

 BPS Announces PowerSchool Online Student Registration System

Birmingham Public Schools is excited to announce the Powerschool online student registration/data validation system, powered by InfoSnap. The system is a secure and green process, which allows the district to verify all student demographic, emergency and medical information for your child prior to the start of the new school year. The system will also allow you to electronically sign the annual permission forms for school district policies. This will make it easier to complete the annual registration process plus improve our student records.
