Student Observations

[khunt]

In the new Powerschool SIS update, we now have a student observations option. I understand that we, teacher, can write observations and even forward this on to our admin. However, I was wondering if parents/students could see these observations from their end. Thank you!

Hi @khunt 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community for assistance!

Currently, parents or students do not have the ability to view the student observations. However, this would be a great enhancement request to add to the PowerSchool SIS update. You can add this as a feature request to the PowerSchool Ideas Portal. 

 Here's an article with more information on how to use the PowerSchool Ideas Portal.

Where can these be located on the SIS side?

I think the purpose of the new Student Observations is for private teacher comments, that students and parents do not need to see.

@khunt are you seeing PTP Observations in the Unified Classroom?

Hi @cogginm 

Thank you for the query!

A teacher has the ability to view the observations from the New page called Class. An admin will also be able to view the observations from the Read-only view for each teacher separately. You can learn more about Student-Observation-Incident-page in this article.

Please let us know in case of any further queries.

Hi @mylenek,

There are certain resources in the community that are accessible based on the roles assigned by your school or district. This article will provide the most common reasons you may receive a message that you do not have access to a resource.
