Good morning,

Is this a custom page you have in your PowerSchool? If you are asking how to add information for a group of students, you can do these two ways. 

Change Student Field Values (this works if all the students have the same values, for example the same school):

  • Select your group of students on the start page
  • Click on the down arrow under your student list 
  • Click on Change Student Field Values
  • Enter the field you would like to change in the first box
  • Enter the information you are changing to in the second box
  • Press Submit
  • Then another page will appear to check if those are the changes you would like to make, and press submit

Quick Import:

Create an excel spreadsheet with the fields as the header. Use the students ID number to identify the student(s) you want to change. It will look like this

  • Once you have all the information save the file as a .txt file
  • Go to Quick Import (Data and Reporting>>>Imports>>>Quick Import
  • Select the student’s table
  • Choose your file 
  • Check the box for Suggest Field Map
  • Press Submit

  • On the next page make sure your fields match
  • Check the box to exclude first row
  • Under Advanced Import Options Check Update the student's record with the information from the file being imported. (Note: When selected, students will be transferred to the school ID assigned in the import file if it matches an existing School Number in PowerSchool.)
  • Press Submit
