Consolidating Contacts

PowerSchool version 12 introduced a new feature called Contacts. This more powerful feature allows contacts to have multiple phone numbers, multiple email addresses, and allows multiple roles for one user. However, with more features comes a little more complexity. The biggest headache will come from users who adopted PowerSchool before 2019 because this requires a new way of thinking about the data entry and a considerable amount of data clean up.

Attendance Setup Adjustments

There are two common problems that will show up at the end of the first term when schools run their report cards. The first is that the system is counting days present rather than days absent. This is due to having the wrong values or no values in the FTE codes and conversions. The second common issue seen is that there will be attendance for quarters 2-4, either showing as positive or negative numbers.

Importing Photos into PowerSchool

Site admins can import photos into PowerSchool only after creating a Map file to link pictures to students and placing the files in to a flat zipped file.
