OK, new PS user (teacher) and new PS Community member here...
I searched but did not readily find a solution. Our previous SIS was Skyward and I could email homes progress reports (PDF file in email attachment directly from Skyward) on a weekly basis. The report, for each student, included the progress for all of their classes, not just mine. I am looking to do the same within PS and can't seem to do it. I even can't seem to create a progress report for each student in only my class. I can create reports for my class but it is just one that includes the info of all students in that hour. I, and other co-workers, are looking for a way to send to each home that student's single progress report for all classes. Anyone got some ideas?
It sounds like you are a teacher. Report Cards and Progress Reports are the domain of the Admin-side of PowerSchool in all the districts I work with (70+). Typically, grades are stored by an Admin user and then the reports are run on the Admin side. Your PS Admin could make the report available to print for teachers if they so choose. There is also a 3rd-party program called MBA Report Creator that allows reports to be published to the Portal or emailed to parents (again, from the Admin-side, not the Teacher Portal)
Having said that, there really isn't a need to send home a progress report in PS as parents/guardians have access to all their student's grades in real time via the App or Web Portal, including individual assignments in PT Pro (unless you have set them not to publish to the Portal).
You can view student's progress in other classes via Quick Lookup in the Teacher Portal. You can also print an Individual Student Report out of PT Pro that includes the student's entire schedule, but there is no mass email function out of PT Pro. You would have to do the emailing yourself.
Hello!
In PowerSchool, teachers can only generate reports for their own classes, not full multi‑class progress reports like Skyward. To send each student’s all‑classes report by email, your district’s PowerSchool admin must configure SIS‑level reporting and parent notifications. The practical approach is to set up scheduled emails through the Parent/Student Portal or have admins run batch reports, since teachers alone don’t have that function.
