Changing staff status is generally necessary when a staff member who previously did not teach is now teaching a class. For a staff member to display in any teacher lists including the Teacher Schedules page and additional , they must be categorized as a "Teacher" in PowerSchool.Â
To set that up, follow these instructions:
On the PS start page, select the dropdown menu by the search bar and change from Students to Staff.
Search for and select the staff member using their Last Name, First Name.
Click on Staff Profile in the left menu > select Demographics.
Scroll down to the field that says Staff Type > change from Staff to Teacher.
Click Submit.
Click on Schedule in the left menu > select Schedule Setup.
Check the box that says Schedule This Teacher.
Click Submit.
A new teacher bell schedule view has been added to both PowerSchool and PowerTeacher! This feature adds a bell schedule to the list of staff pages on the Admin portal (pictured below) and to the list of personal pages on the Teacher portal.
The layout and color styles closely mirror the student version of the bell schedule, and buttons allow the user to adjust block sizes and look at different weeks.
This could be helpful when scheduling, subbing, planning a meeting with a teacher, or having teachers preview their schedules for the year!
