Hi, We are looking for a solution to run our Instrumental music program alongside our school schedule. Is anyone doing anything like this and do they have any tips on how to get started with this?
Kind regards,
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
I am not exactly certain what you are trying to do here, but you can only have one Bell Schedule per day in PowerSchool.
Thanks, that helps. We are trying display the music lessons alongside the regular student schedule to let teachers know when the students are at music lessons. Are there ways that we can do this in PowerSchool?
Andrew
Hi @andrewgill5
If you are trying to display the music lessons alongside the regular student schedule and if the music lessons are not the regular student schedule's own class, then currently it is not possible. However, if you would like to have this feature, you can raise an enhancement request.
This article should walk you through how to raise an Enhancement Request.
@andrewgill5 Are you asking if a student can have two schedules in PowerSchool?

This is something that would be hugely helpful. Is there anything that schools use for Instrumental lessons that happen 'once per week' during their normally scheduled class AND/OR keeping attendance for students that have a pull-out such as speech or classes for special needs etc?
There are some creative ways you can do this. For instance, you may have periods 1-6 that are used for course sections that report attendance to your State, etc., and create additional periods/expressions that do not report out to the state that you use only for rostering purposes or for classes like you are talking about. You would need to set up a clear structure for naming the individual sections to correspond to different class periods if you want it to be easier for understanding that students are out that period for another class. You could probably do it with tracks as well. No matter how you attempt it, some structural gymnastics will be necessary and it may not be worth the headache especially if it is for a small number of students.

Hey, did you manage to arrange what you wanted?
