Ensure that students will be assigned to the appropriate school

As part of next-year preparation, district or school administrators must ensure that all students whom PowerSchool SMS should transfer to another school at year end are set to do so and that PowerSchool SMS will assign each student to the appropriate school. This involves the following tasks:

Ensure that all students are assigned a home school [>>]

Ensure students are assigned a geocode [Geocode Map method only] [>>]

Ensure that grade points are set for the school [secondary schools] [>>]

Note: Since a District Administrator can complete most of these tasks for all students in the district, or a School Administrator at each school can complete the tasks for that school's students, we recommend that the district assign responsibility for these tasks.
