Setting up health tracking at the district

Use PowerSchool SMS to manage and report on information concerning students’ emotional and physical health. Based on district-defined rules about when students require immunizations or examinations, you can report on students who are delinquent (overdue) or who require immunizations or examinations in the near future so an appointment can be scheduled.

To monitor student health, complete the following general steps:

At the district, update Student Health setup list items. For information about working with Setup Lists, see Working with Setup Lists [>>]. .

At the district, set up provisional enrollment to specify when students are assigned the provisional enrollment status. For more information, see Setting up provisional enrollment [>>].

At the district, set up an automatic calculation of immunization exemption expiry dates. For more information, see Defining default immunization exemption expiry dates [>>].

At the district, indicate if early administration compliance is allowed by defining a grace period. For more information, see Entering immunization preferences [>>].

At the district, set up immunization rules to specify which immunizations are required and when they must be administered. For more information about defining immunization rules, see Setting up immunization rules [>>].

At the district, set up health examination recommendations and requirements to specify which health examinations are required and when students need to have them. For more information about health examinations, see Setting up health examinations [>>].

At the school, enter student health information. For more information about entering student health information, see Health tracking at the school [>>].
