Student Page Views
Most of the pages you work with are the same for all of the schools that use PowerSchool; however, some pages can be modified to meet your school's individual needs. This function is noted in the appropriate sections. If a section does not indicate that a page can be customized for your school, it is a PowerSchool preconfigured page that cannot be modified.
Note: When reading descriptions of the modifiable pages, keep in mind that either the page itself can be modified by your PowerSchool administrator or the data in the fields on the page can be modified by the PowerSchool user. For example, a page might provide fields for only a student's name and phone number. As the user, you can modify the data in those fields if the information is wrong or has changed. However, if you want the page to provide a student's address in addition to a name and phone number, your PowerSchool administrator must modify the page to add the address field.
Each student page view section assumes that you have selected an individual student record. For more information, see Student Search.
