PowerSchool Sharing Session February 8, 2010

ESU 10 - Kearney

9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Register: https://odie.esu10.org/workshops

It is time to get started with the scheduling process and this session will focus on scheduling using PowerScheduler.

9:00-11:45  BUILD:  this where PowerScheduler creates the optimal master schedule based upon student requests and course/teacher constraints.

12:45-1:30  Student Request Screens: we will cover how to create student request screens and course groups so students can register online.

1:30-3:30   LOAD: this is where PowerScheduler loads the students' requests into the master schedule

If you are planning to use your current schedule for next year, you will not need the morning BUILD session. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hello Everyone,

What are the start dates and end dates we are to use, for student and student enrollment?

Thanks

    I have tried to upload my student filr to NDE and keep getting an error that the submission (student) is not available in the current selection.  The only thing it will let me select is National Assessment.  I thought  Students could be uploaded any time.  Don't I have to upload student before student enrollment?  I have to do this by Feb 1 for the NeSA  labels?

 We started standards on our Elem Report cards last year. This year the Q1 was ok. Everything ran great. The teachers used powerteacher to put in the standard grades. This quarter, we showed the teachers how to put in standards via gradebook. We tested this all out in Nov/Dec on one school. Everything was working by the time X-mas came up with just a few very minor issues with comments(fixed by the the patch). Now Report cards are due to be printed. The school that we did the testing on, works. All standard grades are showing up with regular grades. The other schools are not. Their regular grades show up but not standard grades. We have been comparing the schools and can't find anything that is different except the Reporting Segments which I have changed to match the school that works. Nothing still. We are storing the standards via the System/Store Standard Grades. The admin who did it for the school that works, confirmed that we are doing all the step correctly. I have verified that the standards are in via DDA and on gradebooks but have not verified that they have been stored as historical as can't seem to find that.
 Any one have a idea where we can look to get the grades on the Report Card?? Codes are all write and match everything else. We are trying to show a Q2 standard grade on the report card.

Thanks

We have a first grader who will be moving to the second grade tomorrow. I was thinking of going into the transfer info and changing his grade level however, that would make him appear as if her were in the second grade all year. Does anyone know how to do this correctly so I dont jack it up.
