I'm trying to print the Teacher Gradebook Report (under System Reports) by teacher for an EOY backup. The report is only printing 3 students per page, leaving most of the page blank. I've run this report in the past so I know it can easily fit at least 30 students. I see nothing in the report setup that is limiting the pages to three students. Any suggestions?
The teachers are all on PT Pro, if that makes a difference.

Is there a way to suppress letter grades for assignment scores? We want letter grades to show for the final/term grade in Quick Lookup but I have 2 teachers requesting letter grades be suppressed for individual assignment scores. They just want the score and percentage to show. I'm told students stress out too much when they see an F on a five-point assignment. Is this even possible? TIA

1. I have a teacher who wants assignments to automatically get docked 50 percent when they are marked late. Is there way to do that with PTP? She says she was able to do this with the old Gradebook app.
2. I have a teacher who would like to change her default login screen in PowerTeacher Pro to something other than the Assignments screen. Is there a way to change the default login screen? I don't see anything under Settings.
Only two questions today so I guess it's a good day. ;-) TIA.

I understand there's a way in PowerSchool for teachers to indicate they've verified grades, and reports for administrators to run to see who hasn't verified grades. I've found verification reports, but how does it work on the teacher side? Is there something I need to turn on? Or is it a customization I need to load? TIA

Good morning, I just found out that the PowerTeacher Pro Gradebook does not allow individual teachers to set their round/truncate preferences for their gradebook. There is currently only a setting at school level.
I found an enhancement request regarding this missing feature. Please help me vote it up:
The quickest way to find it is to log into PowerSource, search "truncate" then click on the Enhancement request tab.
Thanks for you help on this!

I get this question every year and I'm always giving the wrong answer. We have semester-long classes but we store grades for Q1 and Q2. They go home on what we call a quarterly progress report.
My question: if the S1 and S2 are the official grades for a class, do our teachers need to set up Q1 and Q3 terms? Looking back on my notes, I looked into this before and ended up telling the teachers they need to do final grade setup for all four terms (Q1, S1, Q3, S2). But this doesn't make sense to me. Why should they set up Q1 and Q3 if only S1 and S2 are official grades?
Ideas? My brain hit its capacity last week ...
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 :-)

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 having trouble getting the new gradebook launch method icon to appear on the PowerTeacher page? We have the desktop icon, just not the one in PowerTeacher.
According to support mine does not appear because I have customizations. When I turn off customization it does appear. They cannot (will not) give me any idea which customization could be affecting this. I really don't think I have customized anything on PowerTeacher except the log in page. I reverted that to the original and it did not help.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Otherwise the only suggestion support could offer was to revert every customized page individually until I hit the right one!
Thank you!!!

The registration secretary recently enrolled a new student who is transferring to our school in January. She shows up on the admin side as pre-registered with the entry date of 01/06/2014. Her enroll status is -1. But she's showing up in teachers' Gradebooks for the S1 term. (These are yearlong courses.) The teachers were all confused, thinking they have a new student in class, and she also shows up under attendance. I verified in a teacher's Gradebook that she is showing under active students.
She shouldn't be showing up in Gradebook and attendance if she's not an active student, right?? Are we enrolling the student incorrectly?? TIA.

Can anyone give me reasonings why you feel it's important for teachers to let you know when grades are updated after grades are stored. What explanation do you give teachers of why this is important, or do you feel it's important?
I was able to install the custom reports bundle with the grade book vs. stored grades report and was shocked at the number of teachers that changed students grades and did not let me know (even after it was told to them that they needed too).
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!

We had a couple teachers update their java when prompted yesterday, and now gradebook will not open again for them. We had finally got everything back to normal here with gradebooks. Anyone else have this issue? Is there some workaround again?
I was asked to upload the Gradebook app that Ray sent me...here it is...
Gradebook.app.zip
If that doesn't work, try downloading it from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9EpJOXCXZ_zUks0X1lNRC1TVHc/edit?usp=sharing
It will have to be reconfigured...here is the message Ray sent me, and this worked GREAT!
Yes. The settings are for St. Vincent de Paul's PowerSchool server, which won't do the Alliance folks much good.
So where the properties file says ps.svdpomaha.org,
you will need to enter your information. Log in to PowerSchool as an
administrator, go to System>System Settings>Global Server
Settings. Whatever is listed there under PowerTeacher Gradebook
Settings - External Access is what you will need to put in the
properties file and save. And that should work for you.

Is anyone else having problems again with Gradebook launching? We have some people who are again having problems launching gradebook. They can access PowerTeacher, but not gradebook.

Has anyone heard of a new gradebook problem with Java? The science teacher came to my class and told me that Java updated and now he can't get into his gradebook, but I haven't heard from any other teachers or anything on the PowerSchool lists I monitor. Haven't had time to do much troubleshooting yet, but thought I would go ahead and reach out to the 'experts'. Thanks!

We have noticed that with our new staff this year, they have to go to another screen after entering grades to publish the assignment. It doesn't appear to be like that for the veteran teachers. Is there a setting we need to put in so it automatically publishes when the teacher enters a grade?
