Generating Student Report Cards in PowerTeacher Pro

A class set of Report Cards (PDF) can be generated at any point in time that will reflect current grades. However, only report cards that have been "Archived" by your admin staff will be visible to parents and students in the PowerSchool Parent/Student Portal. Archiving of report cards will typically only be done at the END of the school year once it has been confirmed that teachers have submitted all final grades and comments that should be included in that reporting period.

There are three (3) possible Report Card Templates that can be generated. Templates are categorized by student grade levels, so some templates will not be visible at schools that do not have those specified grades.

Available Templates: Grade 1-6 Template, Grade 7-9 Template, Grade 10-12 Template

GENERATING REPORT CARDS
There are two (2) ways to generate current report cards or Archived report cards:
A. From the PowerTeacher dashboard; or
B. From within PowerTeacher Pro.

A. From the Power Teacher Dashboard

1. Login to the PowerTeacher dashboard (https://ecssd.powerschool.com/teachers/home.html).
2. Find the class you would like to generate report cards from and click on the blue "R page" icon on the far right.
   
3. Set all applicable fields:
1. Report Card Template = Select the appropriate Report Card Template for the grade level of the students in your selected class.
2. Current Reporting Term = Select the applicable Reporting Term for the report card.
3. School Year = Select the current school year.
4. Sort By = Select the method by which you want the report cards sorted in the PDF (Last Name, Grade Level, or Homeroom).
5. Double Sided = this option will add a blank page to report cards that contain an odd number of pages. *NOTE: This option would only be used if the report cards will be printed on paper.
4. Click one of the two button options:
1. Generate Student Report Card - if you are generating a current report card (not at the end of a reporting term).
2. Generate Student Report Card From Archive - if you are generating one that has been Archived at the end of a reporting term (by Admin staff). This option would rarely be used.

READING THE REPORT CARD
Each of the three templates has slight differences that are displayed through various colors.

Grade 1-6 Template (color schema):
a. Green = Course Name / Teacher name
b. Alternating White/Grey = Course Standards
c. Blue = Teacher "COURSE" comments

Grade 7-9 Template (color schema):
a. Green = Course Name / Teacher name
b. Alternating White/Grey = Course Standards (which will not appear for courses that only use Traditional Grades - %)
c. Blue = Teacher "COURSE" comments

Grade 10-12 Template (color scheme):
a. White: Course Name
b. Green: Teacher Name
c. Blue: Teacher "COURSE" comments
(High school courses do not contain Standards, so no need for green, or alternating white and grey colors)
