Powerschool vs Powerschool Learning apps

Powerschool Learning IOS App icon
**THIS** is the app to use to access the MDS LMS

There are two powerschool apps on your ipad:
Powerschool Learning, used to access the LMS, and
Powerschool, used to check grades and such.

Make sure you are using the correct app!

NOTES:

  • You can also access the LMS by opening a web browser [Chrome, for example] and surfing to LMS.mountdesales.net
  • Access to Grades are blocked during the school day. Access is opened back up around 3:00 pm.
Powerschool Mobile – used to check grades, but NOT during the school day

How to Check Your Grades

Although there are a couple of ways to check your grades, here is the foolproof method.

NOTE: Grades are not available during the school day [there are certain specific days when grade access is left open – there are rare.]. If you try to check your grades when access is disabled, you will receive an error message.

LOG IN using your school ID (lunch code) starting with mds – example: mds12345
Enter your password as given by the school (used with LMS and Apple ID).
Students DO NOT create an account.
There are other ways to access grades, but this is recommended.

Again, grades are not available during school hours.
You may get a “disabled” or “unable to see grades” error during school hours.
