Enrolling Students for Next Year
Well it is that time of year where many of you are starting to enroll new students for the next school year. I would highly suggest that you set up next year’s school year before doing this. To do this click on school under setup and click on years and terms. Click new to create the 2007-2008 school year. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO START YOUR SCHOOL YEAR AT LEAST A WEEK EARLY AND END IT A WEEK LATE TO ALLOW SOME EXTRA DAYS IF YOU NEED THEM. DO NOT SET UP YOUR CALENDAR BEFORE THE EOY PROCESS. YOU WILL DO THAT AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED EOY AND THEN YOU WILL MARK WHICH DAYS ARE IN SESSION! The reason we are having you do this? Well I have had a few schools enroll next years kindergarteners without having the years and terms set up and PowerSchool enrolls them with an enroll status of -2 which is transferred out because the starting date doesn’t exist anywhere. If you have your next school year set up it will enroll them with an enroll status of -1 which is pre-registered. Then if you need to add information in for the students that are enrolled for next year you will need to put a / in the search students box. You can type in a /lastname or type in /enroll_status=-1. Remember you have to put the / because those students are not yet active and without the / PowerSchool only searches active students!
