West Jefferson Hills School District launches InfoSnap for online student registration and back-to-school data collection
West Jefferson Hills has launched InfoSnap , an online data collection system , to replace the stack of forms parents are inundated with at the beginning of each school year . InfoSnap is integrated with PowerSchool , our student information system , so when the time comes , most of the blanks will already be filled in for parents , and the majority of their work will consist of reviewing information and updating out-dated information .
The school district will be contacting parents in early August with information on accessing InfoSnap , and the district plans to open computer labs for families with limited internet access . Parents are strongly encouraged to update contact information in PowerSchool so the district has current email addresses for communication purposes ( https :// powerschool . wjhsd . net / admin ). If parents don ’ t have a PowerSchool account , they can get information for setting up a PowerSchool account and update contact information by contacting the office at their child ’ s school .

Superintendent Search Updates
Due to the retirement of Superintendent Dr . Michael Panza , the School Board of Directors hired Mr . Tom Templeton of Templeton Advantage to assist the District on searching for a replacement . The goal is to have a superintendent on board by the start of the 2016-17 school year . To ensure community involvement , focus groups were held to gather feedback from all stakeholders to explore the strengths and concerns of the school district , discuss key issues , and determine the critical skills needed in the next superintendent . The focus groups were open to the public , and approximately twenty community members attended to share their thoughts and ideas for the future . To keep the community informed of this process , a section of the website has been dedicated to provide updates at : http :// www . wjhsd . net / SuperintendentSearchUpdates . aspx .
