=Franklin Public School's PowerSchool Resource Wiki=

Welcome to Franklin Public Schools (Franklin, WI) PowerSchool Resource Wiki. PowerSchool is Franklin's student management software that allows parents, students and staff to access grades online. This page is dedicated to the sharing of resources with staff. Please visit the pages in the wiki using the Navigation menu on the left.

NEW(er) Information for the 2011-2012 School Year will be added as the school year gets underway. Here is a list of updates to PowerTeacher Gradebook that might affect you:
 * UPDATE 8/22/2011**


 * Ability to email parents from your gradebook
 * Be able to sort students into an order you want (or have new students added to a class appear at the bottom of the list)
 * Add columns for keeping track of student data in the gradebook (examples: book #, field trip permission slips turned in, etc)
 * Teacher Personal Notes: Keep a log or track of notes for a particular student that only the teacher can see
 * By POPULAR DEMAND! Teacher Personal Comment Bank -- create a bank of comments you can refer to over and over again!

This video below shows how to get started with using these features. Pause the video where needed so you can try these features out yourself!
