Once you have changed your password, the tech department
no longer knows what it is. If you forget your password,
tech can change it. Call 630-7890
The first thing I want
you to do is to change
your password ONLY
if you wish to do so.
Click on Personalize
You will see 3 options:
1) Change password
and 2) default student
screen. I have set
everyone’s default
student screen to
quicklookup. 3) Display
Section Number.
All are selfexplanatory. If you
have questions, let me
know.
There are many
things you can do in
PowerTeacher, most
of which I will let
you figure out for
yourself.

Print Reports
Green Dot Attendance – once you take attendance for a
period, the dot changes to green color.
This instruction
sheet is going to
show you
Attendance and
Print Reports.
Click on the
attendance icon.
(the attendance

available until after

8/15/11)
Attendance Screen in PST
Select the
attendance code
you wish, then
click in the box
beside the
student name
that corresponds
with each
attendance code.
Click Submit.
The table below
shows cumulative
absences and
tardies.
This is a picture of the old page. The new page
will be almost identical. Input is still the same.
Print Reports Icon
The reports
icon in the row
beside the
specific class
will give you
ONLY those
students
enrolled in that
class.
This reports icon will give you ALL students in ALL
classes. Use this wisely.
These are a
few generic
reports that I
have created in
PS. You can
play with them
and see if any
of them serve
your needs.
These reports
do NOT bring
in any grades
from the
gradebook.
If there is a letter or progress report that I can build
and that is beneficial for all teachers, I will create it and
put it in here for all to use. Just let me know of any
suggestions you might have.
Notes:
1. Please remember that beginning in the 12-13 school
year semester 1, there is a term that is holding the
Exam grade (for High School). The term is called E1
and the will be available to you in the final grade setup
in your gradebook. All Exam grades must have a due
date within the specific date range. Grades that count
in the Quarter 2 term must have a due date within the
range showing in Final grade setup in gradebook.
2. Once grades are stored, they become the permanent
record and if you make a change in your gradebook
that affects any term grade, the change must go
through the Registrar. If the final grade at the time
of stored grades was a 89-B and then 3 days later you
take a paper that changes this grade to a 92-A, that
change will not be reflected on the student’s
permanent record until changed by the Registrar.
