End of Year workshop - @ ESU 9 May 22nd
By Wayne Wiens on May 17, 2012
We have scheduled another End of the Year workshop. Hopefully this is after school is out so it easier for you to attend.


PowerSchool Workshop
Tuesday, May 22, 2012
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
ESU 9 - Hastings
Presenter: Wayne Wiens

Agenda:
  • How to setup the Student Grades Report overview
  • End of the Year Process
We will spend just a little time covering how to setup and run the Student Grades Report. Next we will cover the End of the Year (EOY) Process. By the end of the day, you will have almost everything completed so after your NSSRS reports have all been uploaded, you will be ready to run the EOY Process.

To register, go to ESU 9's registration page.

FileZilla and PowerLunch
By Lori Stolcpart on May 14, 2012
We implemented a new lunch program called "NutriKids" and would like to import the balances and LunchStatus from it into PowerSchool. We also want to export our current list of active students from PowerSchool into the NutriKids program.

Any help setting this up to be an automated process would be appreciated.

I was told by PowerSource that since we were a hosted site that I would have to use a program FileZilla to set this up. Has anyone done this? NutriKids has an automated way to export and import files, but I need to get PowerSchool to do the same.

We use AutoSend to send low balances to SchoolReach so I know that we can send info out of PowerSchool to a site. I guess FileZilla makes a computer an FTP client so it can import and export from PowerSchool.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can use an AutoComm to import back into PowerSchool. This will take the file you exported from another system and put it into the correct spot in PS

importing NWEA score for NSSRS
By Beverly Lauby on May 7, 2012
I am trying to import my NWEA scores into PowerSchool.  What table do you import them into?  I thought it was AssessmentFact2 but it is not working.  
Thanks for any ideas.

I know some schools pay NWEA for the NAI template.  I believe the deadline for this year is May 15 for a June 15 delivery. The cost is $150.

Attendance for Seniors
By Tanya Phillips on May 1, 2012
Our seniors get out on the 9th, and the rest of the school doesn't get out until the 18th.  How do you recommend entering attendance for those dates?

You can assign the seniors a track (A, B, C, D, E, or F). Can be done using Student Field Value in Functions.

Then in your Calendar Setup, deselect the Track that you assigned to them for the 10th to the 18th.

Wayne Wiens on May 1, 2012
I believe NDE would say it is a "district decision" on how to handle this. Most of the schools I know have the seniors exiting PS the same day as the rest of the students, which is after the last day of school. It would be helpful to know if many schools are not handling it this way and if someone has a more definite ruling from NDE.

Suzanne Stevenson on May 2, 2012
At the data conference I think I remember NDE stating that they take the actual attendance from the CDC where the hours are entered.  And it doesn't matter if you have your Seniors exit the same as the rest of your students.  That is how we do it in Columbus.

The code is now available on the PSUG website.  Does anyone know how to make this work if we use meeting attendance vs. daily attendance?  I tried it but I am not getting any results and I'm thinking it has to do with how we have out attendance set up.  Thanks in advance!

Joan Ibarra on May 3, 2012
I cant' get it to work either....darn it!  I get the table but that's it!   Any advice out there?   We use meeting as well?

Search for Alternate Course Code
By Peggy Medema on April 19, 2012
I realized recently that I had an alternate course code incorrect for a teacher in last year's Grade Report. I want to find the course and fix it, but I can't find it. 

I went into DDA>Courses, but there's not field there for Alternate number. Can someone point me in the right direction?

In DDA, the Alternate Course Number only shows up if a course has been assigned one.  It then appears in the Custom field, but appears to be non-editable (if that's a word) in DDA.

Editing the Alternate Course number can be done at the Setup>School>Courses screen.
