Need a clean and easy way to email students by groups. For example, emailing your math 7 students? Google Contacts may be the solution for you. This video explains how to pull students out of PowerSchool and import them into Google Contacts
Currently, PowerSchool Learning creates a separate class for every section you teach. This is true if, for example, even if you teach five sections of Math 9. Instead of five separate sections, you have five separate classes. Each with their own content.
Very annoying.
We plan to have this fixed next time, but for now, this video will show you how to create a master class and then add sections to that class.
Be sure to make the classes you don’t need inactive so your students will know where to go.
Learn to import content from last year into your current class.
Right now some parents (it really is hit or miss) are not able to see your classes. They must be added for each class by you all. We hope to change this next year.
Also, we need to be sure to make “inactive” any classes from previous years.
1.Open the class in Powerschool Learning.
2.Choose: “Manage Class” (on the right side)>
3.“Edit Roster”>
4.“Manage Roster”>
5.“Roster Settings” then check the box “Allow Parents in Roster”
A new year has started and you have awesome “stuff” in your PowerSchool Learning from last year. For sure you want to use it again this year. To do that, let’s make a copy of it all and apply it to this year.

Adding parents is a helpful and easy thing to do. You may need to set this up at the beginning of every year.
