Is anyone else having problems loading the PowerTeacher site on Safari and mobile devices? I'm able to access PowerTeacher through Firefox and Chrome on my laptop. Safari takes a long time to load sign-in page. Teachers on iPads able to log into PT through Chrome app, but not as quickly as usual.
We are hosted, running 10.0.4.

Anyone else getting complaints that teachers can no longer copy PowerTeacher seating chart layouts from one class to another? Any suggestions?

Who all will be using PowerTeacher Pro this fall? My intent was to start our new teachers with it ... but I'm getting cold feet. I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to figure it out. Just curious what others are doing. If I start the new teachers with PTP, they will come to me for grade book support. :-( #neverbeenateacher

Hello everyone -- Great conference this week! Thanks to everyone who presented and worked on the event. :-)
How do you handle long-term subs for maternity, etc.? Do you give the sub access to the teacher's PS account and grade book? (Obviously, changing passwords first.) Do you create a new account for the sub and use them as a co-teacher for the 12 weeks or so?
What are the long-term ramifications for creating a generic long-term sub account and using that account as a co-teacher? We don't usually have the same long-term sub so I'm considering changing the account name each time. Would that cause any problems later, with that account tied to grades?
Thanks!
Jane :-)

I've been looking through the info available now on the upcoming PowerTeacher Pro. Looks like the new gradebook will be VERY different. Has anyone seen a demo yet? Are you planning to roll it out next fall for all teachers to use? Are you planning training yet for your teachers? I can't wait to get rid of the Java-based app, but I'm leery of springing an all-new grade book on the teachers next fall. Just wondering what you are all planning to do.
Jane :-)

I don't really know whats going on, none of my teachers can launch gradebook. I've tried reinstalling the launch on their desktops, I've tried to launch the old way, I've updated Java, I'm Downgraded java!!!! Nothing like having an issue with gradebook a week before the quarter ends - Anyone else having this problem??? We are hosted running 9.1.1 Java 8 Update 66.

Anyone else using Macs having problems launching Gradebook after the upgrade to PowerSchool 9? Anyone using Macs and not having problems launching Gradebook after the update?
So far, the only teacher who CAN launch his Gradebook is running MacOSX 10.8.4 and Java 7 update 40. I'm working with support on this issue but I'm getting very nervous because school starts next week. :-P
(sigh) Don't you laugh at me, Ray Bentzen! ;-)

Is anyone else seeing a browser error in the lower left-hand frame of the PowerTeacher page when teachers sign in using Firefox? This just showed up today, and we can't see the entire message. Safari is fine but Chrome shows what looks like a broken link symbol, which probably explains the error.
We don't have a custom home page for PowerTeacher. Just curious if anyone else is seeing this. Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can change the timeout option for PowerTeacher Attendance? Teachers would rather not have to log in each period to take attendance, which they never had to do until recently. I haven't changed anything, but maybe a recent update might have triggered something. Pearson Support told me to change the time at School > Attendance Preferences > Interval Duration. This didn't work; teacher still has to log in. Any ideas? Not a pressing issue. TIA.

I have a few teachers that cannot take attendance in some of their sections (classes). The single day attendance doesn't show anything: 
But the multi day attendance does:
I looked at the sections and courses, but don't see anything there different ... anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
It's been crazy this year...I think the craziest start ever to a school year!

What kind of PS training do you offer for new teachers? This is my first year at a high school and I need to get the new teachers started with PowerTeacher and Gradebook. In the past, at an elementary school, I used other teachers to help the new teachers get started setting up their courses, explain weighting, etc. Does anyone have any good training materials you could share? Thanks!

Does anyone know a way for teachers to see custom field data for their students? I'm trying to create a report so track coaches can see their students and student cell phone numbers. Has anyone found a creative way around the PS limitation preventing teachers to access custom field data?

I can't seem to get PT Mobile to work on an iPad. Can someone send me some instructions that aren't as vague as the ones on PowerSource? I can find the district when I search, but it doesn't seem to hold the information to log in.

I have one teacher (and ONLY one teacher) whose courses are showing up in reverse order in his queue in PowerTeacher. I have hunted all over to see what could possibly be up and all the settings seem to be correct. When I log in on PT admin and look at his account, they are in the correct order. He's the only teacher in the building using Windows, and I wonder if it's some sort of cache file, but I'm PC illiterate and don't want to go trashing files unless I know what I'm looking for.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I have a question on changing a teacher name for classes created and in session: Due to sudden death of a teacher, we are in the process of transitioning things to a different teacher. Is it possible to completely assign a different teacher to classes already assigned to a teacher who is no longer here and class already in session with grades Etc.??? I hope this makes sense. I just need to know the easiest way to change teachers, but not to affect current grading etc.
Thanks,

We have a teacher that whenever she connects to Power Teacher Gradebook it asks if she would like to terminate or quit previous session. She has previously logged out, has changed her password, and tried logging on to different computers but it asks her every time. Any ideas?
