PowerSchool Contacts

With the upgrade of PSv12 and PSv19 in the of Fall 2019, we were required to move to the new data structure for the Contact records within PowerSchool SIS.

This install was hidden for several months with a PlugIn that Hid the Contacts. Training was conducted with a representative from each school in our district. We explained how the contacts were today and how we were planning to consolidate them into a single record across all the schools where they were related to various students.

During the December 11, 2019 VAPSUG meeting, several districts expressed concerns about the amount of work involved and several of the pitfalls involved. This page is an attempt to capture some of the information for reference and instructional communication. It is by no means a fully comprehensive list of ideas. If you have anything to contribute, please email lokes@wcs.k12.va.us. We welcome your feedback.

THOUGHTS:

  • If using SchoolMessenger to communicate with your Guardians, the GuardianEmail listed on the Demographics page and the Parent Information page needs remain. For this to happen during Contact Consolidation, keep the "No Name: XXXX" records separate from the Consolidated Contacts. In other words, check the box to exclude the Original Contact Type of Guardian. This record might have a specific name or might be titled "No Name: XXXX"
