Next School

On this page:

Use the Next School Indicator to add, edit, or delete the names of schools identified as "next schools" which are schools that student graduates will attend when they leave your school. Next school selections are made either per student or as a default for all students. For more information about setting the default school, see Next School Indicator.

If the next schools share your PowerSchool system, PowerSchool automatically transfers student records to the next school when you use the end-of-year process.

Create a Next School Indicator

If there is more than one school that your students often graduate to or move to, you may want to set up additional next schools.

1. On the start page, choose School under Setup in the main menu. 
2. Under Scheduling, click Next School. 
3. Click New.

4. Use the following table to enter information in the fields:

   Field	Description
   School Name	Enter the name of the school.
   School abbrev.	Enter the abbreviation for the school.
   School number	Enter the school number.
   Sort order for display	Choose the sort order on the list of next schools from the pop-up menu.

5. Click Submit. 

Now you and other users can assign it as the next school for any student.

Edit a Next School Indicator

There are times when it is necessary to edit a next school record on the PowerSchool system. The changes you make to the next school record apply to the school and not to the students who are assigned to attend that school.

1. On the start page, choose School under Setup in the main menu. 
2. Under Scheduling, click Next School. 
3. Click the school name, school abbreviation, or school number to be changed. 
4. Edit the information as needed. For field descriptions, see Create a Next School Indicator.
5. Click Submit. 

Delete a Next School Indicator

If students are no longer continuing on to a particular school that has been set up as a next school, delete that school from the list. Before doing so, it is important to verify that the school is to be removed. Any student assigned to that school is impacted by this change.

1. On the start page, choose School under Setup in the main menu. 
2. Under Scheduling, click Next School. 
3. Click the school name, school abbreviation, or school number you want to delete. 
4. Click Delete.
5. Click Confirm Delete.
