The school health program at Cheltenham School District is designed to achieve and maintain optimal mental and physical health of the students through the identification, management, and referral of health problems, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

Cheltenham School District uses PowerSchool as its student information system. Only parents/guardians of fifth through 12th grade students need to access PowerSchool. Families with students in grade kindergarten through fourth do not need access to PowerSchool.

Access codes were mailed home or sent home with your student, including returning and new students. If you do not know your student and/or family access code, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR BUILDING SECRETARY, WHO CAN ACCESS THE INFORMATION.

If you believe your account needs to be reset, our database administrator Tracey Horne can take care of that for you.
