Class Roster Auto-Loader | NickTech |
The System Reports > Class Roster (PDF) function is a great way to get class information out of the system in a nice printable format. However... try explaining to your office staff that after they took the time figuring out all the parameters, field names, and column widths, to create the roster, they cannot save it for future use! This plugin allows PowerSchool admin users to save "roster sets" to a drop-down menu on the page. All users can save "personal" roster sets. You may give particular security groups permission to create roster sets for their school, or multiple schools/the entire district. The page also includes a handy little javascript which will calculate the width of the fields you have specified, and display the total underneath the "roster columns" box. This was included to get around the annoying task of running a report to see if your column widths where okay. |
Enrollment Queue/Demographic Update | MAISD | Online enrollment, yearly forms and demographic info update within the Parent Portal. |
FormLetters+ (sqlFormLetters) | Freund Resources |
FormLetters+ (formerly known as sqlFormLetters) is a free plugin that allows one to create form letters, plus individual student and staff reports. The output is an HTML page containing all of the letters, but when printed, page breaks will create individual letters and reports. The content of the letters can be just text, text and field and DAT references, or text and some of the content created using SQL. FormLetters+ can run in either the admin or teacher portal.

After installation, switch to a school (this does not function in District mode), click the Schedule Search button, and a dialog customized to your school will pop up offering to search through either the currently selected students or the enrolled students. You can also select which parts of your school year you wish to search as well as which day/period combinations you are interested in.
