PowerSchool Teacher - what do you want to see first?

As we approach report card time again, you might want to check attendance records for your students. Schools that print the report cards directly from the PowerSchool program will have attendance automatically recorded on the form for them.

Schools who are still handwriting report cards at this time can use the following feature to determine absences and tardies.

On PowerSchool Teacher - click the "backpack" of your homeroom (at this time only homeroom attendance counts as daily attendance.) Click on the individual child's name on the right hand side. The page will have a drop down menu on the upper right section - to view attendance choose "Quick Look up" and attendance records should appear with class schedule and grades.

If the Quick Look Up is not the default page and you would like it to be, you can change the page appearance.

Click on the PowerSchool logo in the upper left hand corner to return to the opening page. On the left side chose "Preferences." Here you have the ability to change your password and your default student screen. Choose "Quick Look up" and submit. Now when you return to the classes and follow the above instructions the Quick Look Up page will automatically appear for each child as you choose their name.
