Progress Reports in PowerSchool Teacher Gradebook

Progress Reports are SO easy to run! (The calendar says to do this on Wednesday!)

Open the GradeBook and go to the Reports tab.
Select the Individual Student Report
In the bottom portion you will select the Layout Tab
Scroll down to the "Bottom Note"
Click in the "Include" box to select it
Put your instructions for the parents in the box, ex. "Please return by Friday, February 6th"
Click in the "Include" box for the Signature Line. (There is only one signature line so you may want to make your own in the box.)
Run Report!
VOILA! or VIOLA! (Whichever you prefer!)

Learning in Hand website

I met Tony Vincent in 2002 when he was using Palms with 5th Graders at Willowdale Elem. in Millard. He is a truly amazing teacher! So when I ran across his website I knew it was full of useful, educational information. I had to stand up and move away from the computer to keep from clicking on another link!

I'm warning you: Do not click on this link before you kiss your family and say, "I'll be with you in a couple of days!"
