School Communication - Email
As Birney's principal, I believe in communicating with the entire community regularly. The more you know about your child's experience and education, the more you trust those of us working with your child.
I communicate through our Student Information System (SIS), PowerSchool, which updates your information nightly. Check with your friends to make sure everyone receives my emails, and if they didn't have them email me with their contact information asap, so I can add them to PowerSchool's School Messenger system.
If you receive my emails, you will be set for communications from Birney all year - email being my chosen form of communication. If you wish to use a different email, make sure you let me know by simply sending me an email to [email protected].
Please become familiar with and read my emails, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Parent Portal
If you are interested in accessing the SDUSD Parent Portal online, you will NEED to email me, [email protected] using your email so that we can verify it is you before releasing your child's personal information to you. In your response, please tell me you would like access to the parent portal and give me your child's name at which point we will send you the access code and instructions for setting up your portal account.

Questions
Do you have other questions? Feel free to ask as many questions or express as many concerns as you wish - the more you know the more comfortable you will be. So go for it!
