Adding a new building in PowerSchool

We are adding another elementary to our district in PowerSchool. Any tips?

In PowerSchool Professional Learning go to the Administration tab, go to Schools and click Enter New School. Fill in the school information and click Create School.

Next, you'll need to set up the school as a new office. Go to the Professional Learning tab, then Configuration. Under Office Set-Up, click Create New Office. Here, enter the new school information, assign users, and set roles as needed.

Here are a few things you want to make sure you have completed. I hope it helps. 🙂

 

  • If your new school does not have an assigned state (RTHS) number, give it the same number as an equivalent school. For example, if you are making another Middle School but were not given an RTHS number for that school, give the new one the same number as your current Middle School.
  • Create your years and terms
  • In Years and Terms, add your periods and days
  • Set up your calendar
  • Make your courses available in your new school
  • Set up your periods and Cycle Days
  • Create your bell schedule(s)

That is what I can think of so far. Good luck with creating your new school!
