Quick Lookup Page

The Quick Lookup page displays commonly used information, such as the student's schedule, teachers, current grades, and attendance record.

When viewing the Quick Lookup page from the context of one of the student's remote schools, the first tab is for that remote school. The other tabs are for the home school and other remote schools.

The student status is based on the contents of the Enrollment Status field.

The student's status indicator does not appear on the student pages for an active student.

Alerts

Several student pages provide alert functions. Use alerts to create and maintain sensitive information for each student. If a student's record contains an alert, an alert icon appears at the top of each of their student pages. Alert details are available to all users by clicking the alert icon on any student page.

Some alerts require action and appear as messages instead of icons. For example, actions made on student pages may not have their intended effect if the student has an incomplete schedule. If you receive an alert indicating that a selected student has an incomplete schedule, you can complete a student's schedule by navigating to Modify schedule. Refer to Course Requests and Schedule for additional information on modifying a student's schedule.

Alert	Description
	The Birthday Alert appears if a student's birthday is within a week of the current date.
	The Discipline Alert details show any active discipline-related information that staff need to be made aware of
	The Other Alert details show any active general information that staff need to be made aware of.
	The Parent Alert details show any active guardian-related information that staff need to be made aware of.
	The Medical Alert details show any active medical-related information that staff need to be made aware of. If Enhanced Health is enabled, legacy active medical alerts are active along with the active health concern once the student has at least one active health concern set to Show in Alert. Additionally, active health plans associated to the student will also appear. To read and acknowledge a health plan: Click View Plans. Click the name of the health plan to access the View Acknowledge Health Plan drawer. Once you have read through and understand the health plan, select I acknowledge that I have read and understand this health plan. Click Acknowledge. The health plan continues to display in the alert even after you have read and acknowledged it. The status of the plan in the alert reflects whether it requires acknowledgment. If a health plan is updated, the status of the plan in the alert will indicate the need to re-acknowledge.

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.

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.
