Click the PowerSchool SIS logo to return to the start page from anywhere within the application.
If the feature is used by your district and you have the correct security permissions, you may see some of the following icons:
Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | Select Applications to open PowerSchool applications in a separate browser window. If the window does not open, contact your school's PowerSchool administrator. |
 | Select Localize Page to localize the page. |
 | Select Alert to view notifications and password security information. |
 | Select Report to display any report requests you have in the report queue. If any of the reports are currently running, you will not see a checkmark. The icon appears only when you have reports in the queue. |
 | Select Print this Page to print the current page you are viewing. The page includes the name of the selected student and the school and school district for that student. Web pages or reports that exceed the normal portrait orientation can be printed in landscape or adjusted to fit the page. On Mac computers, if your browser does not support those options, click Preview on the browser’s Print Options dialog, then use the expanded printing options available in Preview to print the page. |
 | Select Help to access the PowerSchool in-app help. |
 | Select Manage Profile to open the Manage Profile page and personalize your user settings, or to sign out of PowerSchool. The initials of the first and last name of the person signed in appear. If these are not your initials, contact your school’s PowerSchool administrator. On Manage Profile, you can reset your password, set the default sign-in page and the initial student screen, and choose how to interact with the search features. If your district uses a locale with the Gregorian with Hijri overlay calendar System, the Manage Profile page has the option to Enable Hijri dates to accompany Gregorian dates where available and set calendars to include Hijri dates by default. This setting enables the Hijri overlay on calendars by default and displays Hijri dates next to Gregorian dates where available. You can disable the overlay directly on a calendar, but the overlay resets to enabled after refreshing or re-entering the page. |
 | Select the Notifications icon to open the Notifications panel. If you have any in-app notifications, you can mark them as read, unread, important, or delete them. |
Navigation Toolbar
The School menu displays the name of your default school or District. If you have security permissions to access more than one school, you can click the School link and choose another school. Before beginning any PowerSchool procedure, be sure you have selected the correct school or District.
To activate the School menu, the user must have all applicable schools added to their security settings. To assign schools for a user, refer to School Affiliations.
When changing schools, the matching term abbreviation is selected. If there is no matching term abbreviation, then the school's default term level is selected. Set the term based on the school default term level on the Miscellaneous District Settings page. When selecting a term, click the calendar icon that appears next to the term to view the number of school days in the term.
