  4. What do you have now? DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND What format?

  5. Or this?

  6. Convert it to this! Course Name Course Number Term Length Expression- When does it meet? HR(1-6) would place a √ for each day Teacher Room – Where does it meet? Grade Level – N/A Section Number- VIP!!! Plenty of ideas here!! Max Enrollment Dependent Sections- If enrolled in this class students would also get these courses

  7. Dependent Sections Gray means w/HR Teacher P E R I O D S 3(E) 3(C) 7(A) 8(B), 7(D)

  8. Scheduling Spreadsheet

  9. Term ID Term ID = Scheduling Year 2006= 1600, 2009=1900, 2010=2000 What if a course last less than a full year, what would the term ID be?

  10. Term ID’s for Less than Full Year Courses! Full Year Course = 1900 T1 =1901, T2=1902, T3=1903 C1=1904, C2=1905, C3=1905, C4=1906, C5=1907, C6=1908

  11. If you are importing – double √√√ Your numbers have to match Full Year Course = 2100 T1 =2101, T2=2102, T3=2103 C1=2104, C2=2105, C3=2105, C4=2106, C5=2107, C6=2108

  12. Don’t want to start from scratch! Got DDE Experience? Then Export from the Sections (3) table Select from this school only Filter Term ID >= 2100 (for this year) RED - export but DNU BLUE- update for next year • [5]lastfirst • [5]title • [5]teachernumber • [5]status • [5]last_name • [5]first_name • SchoolID • [2]course_name • Course_Number • Dependent_Secs • Expression • ^(*class_expression data="abbr" format="expression") • Grade_Level • Section_Number • Team • TermID • Attendance_Type_Code • Att_Mode_Code • Room

  13. Importing Schedule into PowerSchool • Special Functions • Importing and Exporting • Quick Import • Table- Sections (Master Schedule) • Find TXT file ( converted XLS file ) • Match column names to those in PS

  14. Import into the Sections (Master Schedule) Never REMOVE √

  15. Suggested Field Map Name is not used in PS, but I use it as a visual clue. Do you know your teacher numbers? √ Removes Column Headers that were used in Excel

  16. After Import – RED is BAD! • After importing PowerSchool displays a page with your results. • RED is an error and it “clearly”tells you ( HA!) what these mean. Go slow it’s doable • Typical Errors: • Bad teacher numbers • Expression is wrong • Term ID is wrong/not set

  17. Mass Enroll: Power of Depend_Sec 95701.1 gets 98701.1,65701.1,70701.1,92701.1,60701.1 NAME - Sometimes I title that column DNU- Do Not Use

  18. Does your state require reporting elementary subject matter teachers? Do you want standards to be associated to a content area? Sample Scheduling of Core Subjects

  19. Dependent Section Options • HR >> ELA, MA, SCI, SS and SPECIALS if the students travel to ART, MUSIC, PE, HEALTH etc as a HR Group • If students go to SPECIALS as a new group other than HR but stay together as a group in these elective subjects then… PE>> ART, MUSIC, HEALTH, LIBRARY ( upper elementary & MS Schools)
