She has been involved in numerous volunteer activities which have included a food drive within the school to fight hunger in the region, along with assisting area Lions Clubs with the staffing of their events.

This school year, Agawam Public Schools, will be using a new Student Information System and Parent/Guardian Portal called PowerSchool. Each parent/guardian will need to create a new account in PowerSchool. This will replace the PlusPortal account you may have used in previous years.
You will use PowerSchool to view your students schedule, grades, report cards, and other important information. You are also able to keep your own information up to date and accurate.
Instructions for how to create your account will be emailed to parents/guardians. Starting today, August 18th, we will be sending instructions to one grade level each day. Starting with 1st grade. This is being done so not to overload PowerSchool with new accounts or overwhelm the technology support desk.
If you have any questions or need help creating your account, please contact APS Technology at support@agawamed.org.
