PowerSchool 6.2.2 is here

Over spring break, we will be upgrading to version 6.2.2 of PowerSchool.  Along with usual bug fixes that are included in this update, there were a couple of notable new features added to PowerSchool.  Below you will find a list of these new features.

New in PowerTeacher 2.2.2

Link to the New PowerTeacher Mobile App
On the PowerTeacher portal, a new App Store link is now available on the main menu. The link takes you directly to the Apple App Store to download the PowerTeacher Mobile application. This image and link are only visible if the teacher account is configured to use PowerTeacher Gradebook, and the district and school have Mobile Services enabled.

Weighted Mean Now Available as Standards Final Grade Calculation
Based on customer feedback, the weighted mean is now available as one of the standards final grade calculation options in PowerTeacher and PowerTeacher Administrator. The weighted mean uses both the total points possible and the assignment weights.
 
New in PowerSchool Parent and Student Web Portals 6.2.2
 
Download Export File Containing Student Data
With this release, a new Download icon appears in the navigation bar when the Grades and Attendance tab is selected. Click to download an export file containing student data similar to the printable view data. This data file is intended to help facilitate upload into other products, including Pearson's Alleyoop. Alleyoop is a social guidance network for college-bound teens. Alleyoop helps teens and their parents explore future college and career goals, set short-term grade goals, and get the coaching they need to get ready for success in college and beyond. For more information, see the Alleyoop Web site.
