Permanent Record

In PowerSchool SMS, a District Administrator can use Permanent Record (PR) features to create a district-specific structure for secondary schools that defines the student data stored in a student's permanent record, specifies which data should be included in cumulative GPA and credit calculations, and determines which information is shown on secondary student transcripts.

For detailed information, see Permanent Record setup [>>]

Database conversion

To use Permanent Record features, the administrator must convert the PowerSchool SMS database to accommodate them. For detailed information, refer to Converting to Permanent Record.

The Permanent Record Tool facilitates this conversion by helping the District Administrator configure the schools prior to conversion and ensure the data is correct so that it synchronizes accurately.
