Thank you so much!!!

After doing these steps I don't have a choice of 21-22 SY on my Ed-Fi 3.5.      Should I call Power School or put a ticket in?

Hello Melissa,

Check your Years and Terms at the school and ensure that under each Term it is not set to suppress the schedule.

It is a check box you can tell if it is on, when you go to the Years and Terms you will see an asterisk by the Term.

It definitely could be what Dan mentioned. The other thing we are seeing is if a parent or student logs in through the app, they won't see the schedule if the final grading terms are not setup.

If they are logging in on the App, the School > Final Grade/Reporting Term Setup needs to be setup for parents/students to see the schedule. If this is setup, check School > Years & Terms and make sure the suppress access isn't checked.

No, PowerSchool doesn't have that capability. The best option would be to export the student's grades into Excel and run the what ifs there.

Teachers take attendance in the teacher portal, which is called PowerTeacher. There are two gradebooks: the old PowerTeacher gradebook and the new PowerTeacher Pro gradebook. 

So teachers are still taking attendance in PowerTeacher (the portal, not the gradebook) like they always have. The setting for determining when teachers can take attendance is still under School > Preferences.

I was there  under School > Preferences, but it was not seeming to work.
I had to update my browser and it worked but I had to choose "Number of school days teachers may alter
attendance prior to current date (PowerTeacher)" to make it give me days in the past.

THANKS ALWAYS WAYNE!!

You can only find incidents using the Data Export Manager. It is not a table you can locate through DDE. 

Thank you!   So... is there a way to delete  incidents?

I'm assuming you want to delete them in mass. Otherwise, you can delete them individually. 

Good Morning,

We also have numerous students who are in this category. To both document their services, and to avoid the ADVISER error that the student is enrolled at the school, but not in any courses, we enroll these students into a SPED Services course.section with a certified teacher (usually their Case Manager).

We do the same thing.  Just enter the appropriate membership share for their service time - this would be a decimal number.

Thank you for the input.  What State Course Code (ID) did you use for this course?  180000 for self-contained classroom? 

We used signup.com.  I didn't know about Meet the Teacher.  If you use it, let me know how it goes.

Where can I find additional info on Meet the Teacher?

Thank you!

We are still going to use our existing SignUp Genius (we use the free version) forms for parents to sign up for conference times.

Each teacher will then create a single Zoom meeting for use for conference purposes and share the link with parents.  Parents will then join the meeting a few minutes before their scheduled time, be put in the waiting room, and then approved when the teacher is ready.

Or at least that's what we think will work for us.

Hi Patty,
What version of PowerSchool are you currently on?

We had this happen for one or two teachers. I our case clearing the browser cache fixed the issue.

Have them try that.

In our case making sure all three boxes under Settings > Display Settings >Values to Show in the Traditional Grade Column are checked solved the issue.

There is a known bug in 20.4.3.1, which is fixed in the update that was released last week, 20.4.4.

From PS's release notes:

PowerTeacher Pro -
Assignment Point Score Displays the Entered Score with Multiple Decimal Places When Saved In some cases, the displayed saved assignment score would have multiple decimal points. This issue is now resolved. PSF-28788

The new State update should be coming out really soon, possibly today. After you get your server updated, you can publish and start having fun!

One can only dream!!!

Hello Kris,

Sheri Schultis was nice enough to walk me through it. The easiest way to make sure you are working with all of the correct fields and tables is to manually enter the data on 1 student.

Then go to: Start Page > Special Functions > Importing & Exporting

Select Data Export Manager

For Category Choose: Database Extensions

In the Export from find: S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C

Select all of the fields from that extension and export.

You will now have the template you need for your import.

The only fields you need to fill data in are:

STUDENTS.DCID
S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C.endDate
S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C.eventDescriptor S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C.startDate

Leave the rest blank.

Once you have all your data filled in go to: Start Page > Special Functions > Importing & Exporting

Choose Data Import Manager

Select your file
Import into: S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C

You only need to map from your file the fields I listed above.

Import

Your all set then.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for this info but I still seem to be confused. 

Is there a difference between STUDENTS.DCID and S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C.StudentsDCID?  How do I find either?

There is no difference, The Student.DCID is used for the S_STU_CRISISEVENT_C.StudentDCID.

If you export out all of your students via quickexport, and check the box to include DCID, that ID is what you will use to import into that table.
