We have quarter long classes for our Jr High. The teachers are having trouble using the grade set up in their grade book. I'm sure it is something to do with the way I have the quarter classes set up. If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated! Thanks!
While I'm on this topic I know I had trouble last spring getting 1st and 2nd quarter classes to print on the final report card. If you have suggestions for this I would appreciate any you could give for this as well. Thanks again for the help!

Does anyone know of a customization for PT that would allow a teacher to click on something and see all the students in that class and all theri attendance for the last wekk or two. I know you can click on the kid and see theri attendance, but it would be nice to see it for all the kids on one screen. Just checking.

I'm trying to print a report card for a 2009 graduate. I thought the easiest way to do that would be to go to last year and print the report card. When I went into last year it is showing me the 2009-2010 seniors. With further looking, no matter what grade I select it is showing me this years classes. I have done a search for last years seniors and power school is not pulling them. I'm sure this is an easy fix but some of this power school stuff is new to me and I would appreciate some help if anyone knows what to do. Thanks!

I am new to using Graduation Sets for auditing graduation requirements for our students. Is there a way to pull classes that the students took from historical?

If you'd like to place a file or doc on the Community, you need to post an new article, i.e. it can't be done via a comment. Once logged in, click on Publishing, then Add New Artcile. In the editing tool bar click on the Document Manager button %20Graci%20Gillming's%20%20Files/community%20attach%20doc.JPG) , which will allow you to upload a document.
Pictures can be done similiarly by clicking on the Image Manager button
For both of them, if this is the first time you've uploaded a doc or image, you'll have to:upload it to the community server, so the steps would include:
- clicking on the appropriate button
- select Upload in the tool bar
- find the file and select it
- click upload
- make sure the file is selected
- click on Insert in the lower right corner of the window.
For images, there is an image editor where you can reduce them in size to make them fit better in the community window.

If you want to post a new question to the Community, it's best to do it from the Publishing link in the navigation bar rather than making a Comment.
Click on the %20Graci%20Gillming's%20%20Files/community%20Add%20New%20Article.JPG) . button and enter a title as well as your question.
Slide to the bottom and click Save as Draft. You'll see how it will look if Published. If all looks good, click on the pencil above the article to enter the edit mode again. This time, click Take out of Draft Mode at the botton and at the bottom of the new window, choose tags that are appropriate or enter a new one if none of the existing tags fit.
Then click on Save Article at the bottom and it will appear to the rest of the Community.

Does anyone have a customization they would share for our school nurse which would allow us to enter immunizations, keep track of weight and height, and so on?
Thanks!

Being a coach, teacher, and PS admin; what I am able to do in a school day is limited. We are beginning our second year of PS and I am looking to delegate some responsibilities within the admin side of PS. Would anyone have some insight, or something they would share with us? My schedule would appreciate it very much!

Document ID:57938: PowerTeacher Gradebook Opens as Text File on Macintosh With FileVault Enabled
I ran into this problem today and it took me awhile to figure out. I
thought I would post this in case others have the same problem. This
is what happened. When the teacher opens Gradebook - a text document
opens with a bunch of stuff you can't read. I found this article and
it really helped.

I have one teacher who can't seem to open her grade book. She can log in just fine, but when she attempts to open the gradebook, it opens to Text edit.
It doesn't seem to make any difference what web browser she uses. I've compared her Java settings to mine and they appear the same. I can log in as her on my computer and it opens just fine.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas???

I have created a simple report in reportworks, using the limited fields Powerschool has made available, but I was able to get the majority of the information needed in the report. When I go the publish the report, the Application and Category drop down sections are defaulted to No Applications and No Categories. When left at the only selection available, I get an error message stating "Not ready for Publishing An Application and Category must be selected" Does anyone know how to fill the drop down selections with Select the SIS from the pop-up menu. Also, according the help menu, Categories are created in the SIS application. When new categories are added, this list is updated dynamically and the list is refreshed each time the Publish window is accessed.
As it is now, I have a report but cannot use it until I can find how to apply an application and a category, so any input will be appreciated.

Posting on behalf of Joan Ibarra...
Hello. Our middle school needs to set up a split period for 5th grades, where some days they go to art and some to music. Has anyone done something similar to this? Did you share a gradebook, or set up periods to accomodate this? Thanks... Joan Ibarra

We have committed, and the students show a schedule in Bell Schedule, but not anywhere else. We redid our load and commit, and it did not help...any ideas? We have checked our years and terms, and periods and they match.

Is there any way to set the language spoken at home to English. It seems to be set to Chinese on mine and I always have to remember to change new students.
