Teacher Recommendations

Using the Recommendations page of PowerSchool SIS for Teachers, you can manage course recommendations for your students. Course recommendations may be required as a prerequisite or they may be purely advisory, where you wish to advise a student on the path you feel best suits their talents and potential. Once a recommendation is made, it appears on the student's Class Registration page in PowerSchool SIS for Students and Parents.
