Does anyone know what the PS Field Name is for the Special Program: Early Childhood - Participant Info Code so we can search for EC0004 or EC0007, etc.?

Thank you!!

Our registrar is attempting to break up a few very large study halls into smaller sections. Since you can't mass unenroll students from a course section, this will be a long, tedious process for her. I found a post on PSUG from 2006 that said you can just delete a course section and everyone in that section will be dropped from the course. Then you can re-create sections and mass enroll students.

This seems too easy and like it would leave orphan files. Has anyone done this? Can you just delete the section form the Edit Section screen? (School Setup > Section > Edit Section > Delete Section).

Or do I delete the section through DDA? (DDA > CC table > SectionID=### >  Modify Records > Delete section)

Is there a better way to unenroll about 160 students from course sections? Anything to avoid one-by-one modify schedule option!

The registrar accidentally enrolled a student into the wrong school. We have an Admissions school where we are enrolling all new students for next year. They will be transferred to our main school at EOY. This student was enrolled into our current school, has an enroll_status of -1 and entry date is 8/17/2018. She has no course requests and the only record I can find in DDA is in the Students table. Can I just change her SchoolID field in DDA > Students table to the correct school? TIA.

Hi All,

First post for me and hopefully the first step on the path to feeling more positive about Powerschool!
Within the student table, I have two fields - Student_Web_ID and Student_Email. Student_Email is exactly the same as Student_Web_ID except with the addition of @domain.com on the end.

I would have thought there would be a straightforward way of copying the data from one field to another, but I have so far been stumped. I thought I had solved it using ~([01]Fieldname) but this only produces the right results within Powerschool (as it interprets the call on the fly). I need to fill the field with the correct data, as I will be exporting this data for use within Follet Destiny.

Right now, I am thinking I will simply export the relevant data, amend it as necessary and then import it back in to the email field. However, I find myself relying more and more on external software to manipulate and present the data held in Powerschool. Does anyone know of a way to complete what I feel is a basic task, solely within Powerschool?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Al

How can I pull all the standards issued for a specific class and a specific

teacher for a specific term.



For example. In Elementary, each student has three standards they are assessed

on duringg Q1. They do this in the gradebook under final grades.



I want a list of all students and each standards grade for Q1. It sure sounded

easy to me until I started looking.

Last fall when my elementary kids got scheduled, the last day was put in wrong and I need to change them all. I imagine I can do this in DDA, but I'm not sure which table to go to. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

In one of my schools, my secretaries were getting an error in the ada/adm by date report.

They were seeing a negative number in the report.  


10/20/2008   MON (A)   40.00  -32.00

The work fix to this error was in the report setup.
I could not leave default settings for

Attendance Mode   

Attendance Conversion

I had to define them.  When I did define them, then my report worked and I got positive numbers.
