Assigning an academic plan

School or district staff can assign one of the academic plans available on the system [>>] to one or more students. Where a system's setup does not permit a choice of plans, a School Administrator can assign only the default academic plan, as designated by the District Administrator [>>]. A school or district staff member can assign an academic plan to one student or to several students at once. When working with a varied list of students, the staff member can have PowerSchool SMS automatically assign each student the appropriate plan according to the year the student entered 9th grade.
