If my child’s father allows his wife to intervene and act as her mother in school matters, paperwork and such, is there anything I can do about that?

The school informed me that she says she’s my child’s mother and she has authorization to make changes to my child’s school paperwork and I don’t.

Of course there is something that you can do about it!  You are her mother.  You need to seek help here because ther are not enough facts and information to give you any clear cut guidance.  Is there an order of custody in place?  Where is the child's birth certificate?  Were you married to the father?  All this needs to be clear and you need to make sure that you establish clear boundaries for his new wife. An attorney can help you with that.  Good luck.
