How to enroll one student at a time to classes


You've already added grouped students to the class lists. And sure enough, more students come to register after the class list has been given to the teacher. Before you rerun the list, you need to add the single new student to the class. This is done differently than the group enroll.

First, on the opening page of PowerSchool, type in the student's last name to find them. If you just enrolled the student and are at the "not enrolled screen" skip to the next step.



On the left hand side of the page, move down to the bottom section of the page under the heading of Schedule. Click on "Modify Schedule." The student's schedule, or lack of it, will be in the middle of the page. Choose the type of class that you wish listed. In my example I looked for available classes for Period 7. Our elementary schools have class expressions listed as HR for homeroom, Rel for religion, etc. Once the choices appear, check for the correct teacher and change the date to reflect the date the student joins (or joined) the class. Then once that's done go back to the blue link (next to the number 1) and click on the link to automatically enroll the student in the class.





Once you click the link, you should see the scheduled class under the student's schedule. If it is a lower grade class, the student will be enrolled in all classes associated with the homeroom. In that case, all new students from PreK - 8 should be enrolled in homeroom. For grades PreK-4, in most schools the students travel from one class to another as a homeroom and will automatically be enrolled in all classes. For grades 5-8 where students do not travel from one class to another as a homeroom, the students must be individually added to those classes in addition to the homeroom class.
