If you have multiple classes with the same name, such as in middle, high school or as an elementary specialist, this video will walk you through the steps to customize class names:
You can also follow these steps:
Class Descriptions
You can add descriptions or other information about the class that will be visible in the PowerSchool Student and Parent Portals, and in PowerSchool Mobile. Examples include grading policy, class syllabus, links to class resources, and more.
From the class select the scheduling term and class or group for which you would like to edit descriptions.
Select the term in which the class meets, if different from the current term.
On the menu bar, select Settings and then choose Class Descriptions.
Enter the class description, syllabus, or other details in the Description field. You can also copy content from a Microsoft Word document and paste it into this field. Use the editing bar to style the description.
Select the arrow to the left of another class name to open the details pane and add a description.
Select Save.
Custom Class Name
Customize the class name to help you with your classroom management. For example, if you have multiple Biology classes that include the same Course Name, you can customize the names to be different from each other. Use the Custom Class Name field to enter a name for the class that will only appear in your PowerTeacher Pro gradebook. Co-teachers, or students and parents will not see this custom name.
You can choose to include the custom class name in your PowerTeacher Pro reports. Check the Use Custom Class Name checkbox when selecting the report criteria to display the Custom Class Name on the report.
