Annual Student Update of Information is completed using Forms, which is located within the PowerSchool Parent Portal for our yearly student update. This annual update is an important step to ensuring the district has up-to-date contact information for all family members and is a requirement for children to participate in after-school activities.

Please look at the options below to determine the steps you will need to take to access and complete the registration.

What if I am having technical difficulties?

If you are having any issues while in the process of completing your child's registration, please email our IT Department at help@coventryct.org.

Student Change of Address

In the event that a student has changed addresses within the town of Coventry, proof of residency for the new address must be on file at your child's school. Please fill out a change of address form, submit your mortgage statement or lease agreement AND a current utility bill for the new address to your child's school. You can do this in one of two ways:

1. Fax information to your child's school
2. Send information into your child's school

As is practice in previous years, the Chromebook/Device insurance fee for students will be $25. The fee will be assigned to all students in Grades 3-12.  Payments can be made online through our online payment system that integrates directly with our PowerSchool Parent Portal. Through this system, families are able to pay the $25 fee online using either a debit or credit card. Please know if you choose to use this option, a small service charge fee will be added at the time of purchase. You may also pay by check (made payable to CHS Activity Fund) or cash by either mailing your payment (with student name and grade) directly to your child’s school or by leaving it in the drop box at your child’s school. If the insurance fee is not paid, any repairs required will be at full cost to the families. Students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch can have this fee waived. If you are unsure of your status or would like to discuss this further, please contact Beth Pratt, our Director of Food Services. For more information on this, and for the Addendum A form (or Permission to Share Information Form), please go to the Free and Reduced Meal Application and Information section of our district Food Services page. In addition, if your family is experiencing a financial hardship, please contact your child’s school.

As a reminder, we ask that all students complete the annual update forms, which include the Device/Chromebook Usage forms prior to the start of school. These forms can be found in the PowerSchool Parent Portal as well. To help provide support to all parents/guardians in this process, or with the Annual Update, members of the IT department will be available through our help desk by emailing us at help@coventryct.org. All directions, including videos, have been posted on our website on the Annual Student Update page. In addition, should you have any questions, please contact your child's school.
