Typically several months before the school year ends, District and School Administrators begin setting up their PowerSchool SMS system to move current year student and system information over to the next school year. Extensive planning and preparation by both the District Administrator and School Administrators takes place—tasks collectively known as next-year preparation (NYP) [>>].
As the school year comes to an end, School Administrators prepare the information in their Active and Planning Calendars [>>] so that the District Administrator can initiate Year-End Processing [>>]. Year-End Processing converts the Planning Calendars to Active Calendars and stores the information that was in the previous year’s Active Calendars in the Historical database. After Year-End Processing is complete, administrators take care of several follow-up tasks [>>].
The complete year-end sequence of tasks is as follows:
