Onboarding Roadmap

Step One:
Check Your Inbox & Set Up Accounts

One week before the start of school, the primary parent/guardian will receive an email with temporary username and secure setup links.

To do:

  • Log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal to verify and update your family contact details.
  • Register your Parent/StudentSquare account — our primary daily messaging channel.
  • Watch for your student’s Schoology login, arriving shortly after.

Platform reference:

  • PowerSchool — student information system (contact info, attendance).
  • Parent/StudentSquare — primary messaging tool for emails, texts, updates.
  • Schoology — online platform for schedules, courses, grades.

Step Two:
Unbox & Set Up Your School Technology

Insight PA provides essential hardware for learning. Your student’s laptop, charger, and grade-appropriate materials ship directly to your home.

Computers typically ship 5 – 7 days prior to your student’s start date. You will receive tracking information via email.

To do:

  • Unbox the laptop and connect it to your home WiFi.
  • Power it on and let system updates install — leave it plugged in for at least 30 minutes.
  • Test that the webcam and microphone work correctly.

If you need to change your address, email changeofaddress@insightpaschool.org

Step Three:
Complete Your Mandatory Orientation

Before live classes begin, all newly enrolled students and a parent/guardian must attend orientation.

To do:

  • Log into Google Chrome using your Insight PA students credentials.
  • Log into PowerSchool using Single Sign On (SSO) to view your first day class schedule.
  • Log into Schoology using Single Sign On (SSO) on your first day to access links to each class session.

View the newsletter sent by your Principal in ParentSquare/StudentSquare for all first day instructions and expectations.
