Customize Class Names

Customize the name of the class if you prefer to use a name that is different from the course name. For example, if you teach multiple Language Arts classes, customize the names to be different from each other. Custom class names will appear only in your PowerTeacher Pro. Co-teachers, students, and parents will not see them.

If you choose to add more details about the class, such as a description or the syllabus, that will be visible in the PowerSchool Student and Parent Portals and in PowerSchool Mobile.

To customize a class name and add a description:

1. At the top of the PowerTeacher Pro window, select a class.

2. In the upper-right corner, select the term in which the class meets. If different from the current term, or select all terms.

3. Click Settings.

4. Select Class Descriptions. The details pane for the selected class opens.

5. To customize the name of the class, enter the name in the Custom Class Name field once you click Save. The custom class name will appear in the gradebook automatically.

6. Enter the class description, syllabus, or other details in the Class Description field in the editing bar to style the description.

7. Click the arrow to the left of another class name to open the details pane and add a custom name or description.
