Latest PowerGrade News
Teachers, here are some critical issues of which you need to be aware:
1. If you have any assignments, categories, or scores labeled with a / mark in the title (for instance an assignment named Compare/Contrast or a category Homework/Classwork) the / mark needs to be removed from the name. The program uses that mark to delete items. This needs to be corrected ASAP. In other words, don’t use the slash mark.
2. To assist PowerSchool in collecting statistical information, PowerGrade will not be available to all schools every day. The PowerGrade load will be increased incrementally as more adjustments are made to PowerSchool. The PowerSchool Administrator in each school will be notified if access is available in that school. Access will be available for all schools at a minimum of every other day.
3. When using PowerGrade, be sure to plug into the network with an ethernet cable and choose the School EN or DHCP EN location. Working using the wireless network is sort of like using your cell phone. Sometimes calls get dropped. Well, if this happens with a gradebook, grades, classes, etc. can be scrambled or lost.
4. If you experience any problems with PowerGrade, please notify me. (mdeare@scsk12.org) It is helpful if you can provide the following information:
Your Name
Your School
Time of Day
Connection (Wireless/Ethernet)
Any problem (even if the problem was resolved)
Resolution (if there was one)
Thank you for your patience as we work through these issues.
