San Diego Unified - District Student Search Customization Presentation
Enhanced Parent Portal
NOTE!!! EPP may not be working with the latest versions of PowerSchool. The Enhanced Parent Portal (EPP) is a popular add-on to PowerSchool to enhance the Student/Parent Portal with additional pages and give you the control of hiding/showing any of the existing or custom pages.
Bell Schedule Header
This plugin adds the current day's schedule name to the header of all the portals, with a link to a popup with period details.
Test Score Display (BETA)
This plugin creates a configurable and more readable test score display screen to supplement the existing one.
Individual Discipline Summary
Copied from PSUG Yahoo Groups National Files - legacy 2006, but still works
An adaptation of a Reporting Engine Discipline report. It includes instructions on how to add a link to a PS screen so as to provide the studentid automatically. The result is a report showing only discipline logs within a user defined data range for the individual student. Included is the entry date, sub-type, Subject, Detail (Entry) and Consequence for each discipline log entry. Definitely provided "as is", your mileage may vary.
PowerScheduler Teacher Assignments Display
We created this to provide a paperless means of communicating to teachers their future teaching assignments based on the data in PowerScheduler. Includes control school-by-school of whether or not to display the assignments and display custom messages for both enabled and disabled states. This is a plugin, use Plugin Management Configuration to install the zip. You'll find the settings under School - (Scheduling) - Preferences. Posted by Roger.
Test Server Modifications
Changing Logos and Colors on a Test Server
For your test server, you may want to change the color scheme as an indicator that you are using a test server vs. using the production server. You can also change the displayed name from “PowerSchool” to something else. This PDF documents how to do this. See also the "Sample SVG Files" posted below.
Sample SVG Files
These files are related to the "Changing Logos and Colors on a Test Server" above. These are sample SVG files for replacing the "PowerSchool" name logo with "PlaySchool". These are named "playschool" intentionally. For them to work on your server, they need to be renamed to:
/images/img/powerschool.svg
/images/img/powerschool-white.svg
Test Server Watermark
Adds a green "Monkey Wrench" background watermark to your test server. This is a plugin, install through System - System Settings - Plugin Management
