I'd like to see an assignment counter in PowerTeacherPro.

Right now, teachers create an assignment and update it for each student, so parents can see, at a glance, how their student is doing in that subject.

When a parent/student opens the list of assignments, it shows all of them, even if it does not belong to the current grading period! It's difficult to determine which ones to tackle first. However, if a counter shows the number of missing assignments for the current grading period, then it would be easier to narrow down which late assignments to go over

Please consider this feature

Thanks in advance

Hi @SolangeS,

 

Good Day! Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern and this can be a great idea for a future enhancement request.

Our previous SIS the system would automatically assign family IDs and then make suggestions for family links based on parent fullname. I would love PS to assign family ID's and have a suggested match feature. I'm currently having to go through alphabetically to manually search for sibling groups and then matching them with your Family feature.

Would it be possible to add an option to email those who have started but not completed a job application? This would be a nice feature and helpful.

A way to see who (within my district) has viewed applications submitted.

When SchoolSpring updated to the new platform, the job description box now puts all the information into a narrative paragraph format.  The details of a job description cannot be separated as was the format before the change.  This needs correction as the job description looks overwhelming and not professional as before.Screenshot 2023-07-07 110950.png

Schoology Feature Request:

 

I would like to be able to change my default assignment time from 11:59 pm to 8:00 am when school starts.  Could you please add a feature where teachers can change their default times for assignments due Without doing it for EVERY assignment.

 

Thanks!

A very small suggestion: when I click on a cell to input a grade, can it highlight or outline the entire row? As I enter more grades, it gets harder to make sure I've got the correct student selected. The alternating background colors help but a highlight would make it foolproof. Thansk.

Hey! Suggestion/request for grading in Schoology.

 

Many other LMSs that I've used have had keyboard shortcuts when grading assignments and in the grade book. When I have a lot of assignments that need flags, it can be time consuming to click on the flag each time. It would be really useful if I could just enter "M" for missing, "L" for late, and "X" for exempt, for example, to save clicks when flagging assignments.

Also, it would be amazing to have keyboard shortcuts for moving between assignment submissions while grading. Having to manually click on the arrow to cycle between posts ends up adding a lot of time to the process!

Really minor things, but so useful in the long term!

Good morning!

 

Registration Details page on new PowerSchool Interface: when you click submit after making a change, it pops you out of the student page and back to the main page. So, you have to then click back to the student and then click back to the registration page. Is it possible to make it so that we stay on that page after we make submissions, then we can select the next page in the menu from there instead of having to start from the beginning again? There are other pages that do this as well. 

 

Thanks so much! ðŸ˜Š

I think it was a great ending!

I find the functionality for applying for a job using PowerSchool incredibly frustrating and difficult. It should not be.

 

Could someone please point me to a button to click?

for Schoology... PLEASE PLEASE allow the assessment to also score as an average of multiple attempts like the test/quiz feature.
