Process for students transferring from one PSD school to another
If a student will attend a different school in the next school year the Office Manager or Registrar will select the student in PowerSchool and navigate to Courses and Programs > Scheduling Settings from the left menu. They can change the next_school here and submit. The student will move to the new school during the End of Year Process in July.
For Students who are changing schools during the school year:
A student's exit date from the current school is the day after the last day they attend.
They can't be moved to the next school until they are inactive in the current school.
Office Managers/Registrars are asked to work together to make this happen on the same day so the student's accounts don't get inactivated.
For example, Student A attends AES on Thursday and will transfer to DES beginning on Friday. The Office Managers should talk first thing Friday Morning. The student is withdrawn with a Friday date and then moved to the new school and enrolled with a Friday's entry date.
If the student attends school on Friday then the best practice will be to withdraw the student on Monday morning, move the student and new school re-enroll Monday morning. If the student is withdrawn with a Saturday date the accounts will go in active and then on Monday when re-enrolled it will take overnight for accounts to be fully re-activated.
Counselors frequently request moving them early but this can't be done so they have to wait.
If needed the Report Card should be Archived and Grades Stored prior to transferring the student out.
