General Information

The following information should be communicated with any staff that will access PowerSchool for Summer School.

1. DIFFERENT URL

PowerSchool Summer School is in a separate database. You will use a different URL for Summer School:

https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net/admin

NOTE: The Teacher and Parent/Student URLs are also different:

Teachers: https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net/teachers

Parents/Students: https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net

2. SCHOOL NAME BEGINS WITH SS

When you log into your Summer School, you will see that the school name displayed at the top right begins with SS. This is a good visual cue to tell you in which database you are working.

3. TERM IS 18-19 (2018-2019)

When working in the Summer School database, be sure that the Term is set to 18-19 Year (2018-2019)

4. BLOCKED CLASSES

Summer School classes must be blocked, allowing attendance to be taken multiple times a day for the same class.

5. STUDENTS ARE BUMPED UP BY ONE GRADE LEVEL

Your Summer School students are copied into your Summer School database by IT, and their grade levels are bumped up by one. With the exception of ESY students who remain in their same grade level for Summer School.

NOTE: Students in Grade 12 will stay in Grade 12.

IMPORTANT! When enrolling new students, be sure to verify they are in the correct grade for next year.


https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net/teachers

https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net/


6. SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

IT moved special education students into your Summer School database based on what was entered on the ESY Registration page.

7. ENROLLMENTS WILL BE CREATED FOR SUMMER SCHOOL/ESY STUDENTS

The End of Year Process will create an enrollment for every student assigned to your school for summer school and ESY. After June 11th, all sites will need to enroll new students manually.

8. IT WILL CLOSE ALL STUDENT RECORDS AT THE END OF SUMMER SCHOOL

Before the beginning of next year’s Summer School, IT will run a process to close all Summer School records. Schools will be responsible for transferring (withdrawing) any student that stopped attending Summer School during the session.

NEW! Effective June 7th at 4:00 pm, the tagging of students for Summer School will be closed in the Production PowerSchool environment. Any new summer registrations, class changes, and school enrollments will need to happen in the Summer School environment.

Case managers may continue to use the ESY Registration Screen. The ESY screens will continue to be copied to the Summer School, but students will NOT be enrolled.

Launching PowerSchool and Signing on

PowerSchool Summer School is set up as a different database from the regular school year (Production PowerSchool). Use the following URL to sign in to PowerSchool Summer School:


After signing in to PowerSchool Summer School, be sure to select your SS School and the Term.

RIGHT!

WRONG!

If you do not see SS for your site, it is because you do not have access. Have your Power User give you the access you need.

If you are the Power User and need access, please call the IT Help Desk at 619-209-4357.

If you sign in to PowerSchool Summer School but see the message “Insufficient Access Privileges” on a screen you need to access, contact your Power User to give you the access you need in PowerSchool

https://powerschoolsummer.sandi.net/admin/pw.html


Enabling Smart Search

The Smart Search feature makes searching for Active and Inactive students and staff faster and easier. Because the Summer database is new, you will need to enable Smart Search.

Follow the instructions to enable Smart Search.

1. On the start page, click Personalize on the main menu. The Personalize page appears.

2. Click Interface. The Personalize Interface page appears.

3. Check the boxes for Enable Smart Search and Include Inactive Student/Staff Results.

4. Click Submit.


Editing Student Demographic Information

IMPORTANT! The Summer School database is refreshed nightly. Therefore, any changes made to the Student Demographics Page in summer school will not be saved.

If you need to make a change to the Student Demographics page and the student attends your school during the regular school year, you must make the change in the regular Production PowerSchool database and the nightly process will copy it into your Summer School database.

If you need to make the change to a student who does not attend your school during the regular year, you must contact the “owning” school to have them make the correction in their database.

If the “owning” school is not in session, and changes must be made to the student’s Demographics page, contact:

For district approved High School Summer School

Lisa Sheldon 619-725-7139 [email protected] For ESY

Naomi Lewis 619-725-7426 [email protected]




Incident Management (Behavior)

Any behavior information entered in the PowerSchool Summer School database will not be copied into the regular Production PowerSchool database and will not be part of the students’ behavior history.

Schools must put suspensions (and any other behavior information that should be part of the student’s behavior history) into the regular Production PowerSchool database if the Summer School site has ownership of the student.

If the Summer School site does not have ownership of the student, they should forward the information (e.g., suspension form, etc.) to the student’s 2018-2019 fall school for entry into the regular Production PowerSchool.


Summer School Entry/Exit Codes

Entry Codes

When enrolling a student into Summer School, always use the Entry Code:

Part 3:

Enrolling

Students


Enrolling New Students Overview

Beginning June 11th, you will need to enroll students who are new to your summer school.

All students currently active at any district school who have not been registered for Summer School will be in the Summer School database as Inactive students.

IMPORTANT! ESY students may NOT be transferred to, or enrolled in another ESY school BEFORE calling the Special Education Department. Contact Naomi Lewis at (619)725-7426 or email [email protected].

Students Active at a District Summer School Other than

Yours:

Before the start of Summer School: Use the District Search/Student Transfer process to enroll a student currently Active at another Summer School.

After Summer School begins, and attendance has been taken: You must have the other school Transfer Out the student before you can use the District Search/Student Transfer (Re-Enroll) process.

Students New to the District:

First enroll the student in Production PowerSchool for 2018-19 using the first day of school in the fall. Once the student is enrolled, IT will run a nightly process to place the student in to the Summer School PowerSchool database as an Inactive student. The next day, the inactive student can be enrolled in the appropriate Summer School using the District Search/Student Transfer process. Don’t forget to schedule the student for classes.

Students Currently Attending Private Schools:

Per the San Diego Unified legal department, any private school student who lives in our district boundaries and pays property taxes to support our schools, must be allowed our summer school program if there is space available. They must fill out ALL necessary paperwork to fully enroll for fall. After their application is complete and entered, the nightly process will place the student in to the Summer School PowerSchool as an Inactive student. The next day the inactive student can be enrolled using the District Search/Student Transfer process.

NOTE: In the case above, if the student is enrolled in Production as a new student only to attend a district Summer School and will not be attending school in the fall, the student will need to be Transferred Out of the Production school with the code of N470 (No-Show – Enrollment Dropped).

Maintaining

Courses


Course Section Overview

IMPORTANT! All Summer School course sections must be blocked, allowing attendance to be taken multiple times a day for the same class.

ESY Elementary Schools

ESY Elementary teachers teach the same course section for four periods. Therefore, they need to be set up with one section that meets four periods.

This is done by assigning them one section and checking periods 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ESY Middle Schools

ESY Middle school teachers teach two, 2-period course sections.

The first course section is blocked for periods 1 and 2. The second course section is blocked for periods 3 and 4.

High Schools

High School teachers teach two, 2-period course sections.

The first course section is blocked for periods 1 and 2. The second course section is blocked for periods 3 and 4. DO NOT USE period 5.

IMPORTANT The iHigh Lab course (8155) must have four separate sections. This will allow attendance to be taken when a student shows up for support. The sections are blocked 1 – 4, 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and period 5.

Attendance Overview

Summer School is positive attendance. Teachers will have to manually select the attendance code for each student for each period in the day. No attendance codes will be set as the default code for students.

Summer School attendance must be posted every hour. This means Summer School teachers will post attendance four times each day, for each class section.

The office staff is expected to complete the following attendance tasks:

o For Summer School, you are not required to make phone calls to clear unverified absences in PowerSchool.

o Print Attendance Rosters and distribute to the substitute (visiting) teachers.

Teacher names will appear on this report who did not take attendance or had their attendance taken by a sub on a paper roster. The only names that should appear on the list are teacher names that had substitutes for the day.

This report must be signed, dated, and retained for auditing purposes. Attach any signed substitute rosters to the report.

Teachers must verify the attendance, make any corrections and initial, sign the rosters, and return them to you. These rosters are kept on file at the site.
