Revising a Bell Schedule after EOY rollover is completed/students are already scheduled for new year

[DME3]

Does anyone have any feedback or thoughts if a district should revise an entire bell schedule once end of year has been completed and students are all scheduled for the 2022-23 school year in a MS-HS. It seems like it would be a lot of work to revise.

Hello @DME3,

Thank you for reaching out in the PowerSchool Community!  It's strongly recommended not to revise a bell schedule. Changing the bell schedule into the school year will have unforseen effects on the system.  This type of change requires significant record changes to account for the new schedule. Any sections that will be affected by the change will need to have the associated Course, Section, CC, and attendance records revised accordingly.  The best time to change the bell schedule would be during or after the year end process. 

If you decide to change the bell schedule anyway, pleae use the following Knowledge Base article as an attendance troubleshooting guide since attednance data will be affected by this change: https://help.powerschool.com/t5/PowerSchool-SIS-Knowledge-Base/Troubleshooting-Attendance-ADA-ADM/ta...
