New Staff Member

Adding a new staff member is easy. However, you will need to enter a support ticket that explains the level of access the new person will require for PowerSchool admin.  The security group settings option cannot be set by local users.  For teachers who don't access the admin, just enter them an off we go.  Here's how...

1. People> Staff> New Staff Member
2. The ID number is very important for two reasons: you can't change it once entered and it must be unique system-wide. For the ID number enter the date and then sequential numbers for each new staff member entered today. If today is March 23, 2014 and the new person is the first you are entering today enter the ID number as 3231401-- 3 for March, 23 for date, 14 for year and 01 because that's the first.  If you are entering more staff members, the next one would be 3231402 and so on.
3. Enter the remaining information and then click submit.
4. You must then enter the username and password by clicking Change Password on the left menu.  Top grey part is for Admin users and the bottom part is for teacher users.  Depending on the roll of the new staff member you may need to enter top only, bottom only or the entire page.
5. Click submit and your new staff member is entered.

Don't forget - if the new person is using the Admin portion of PowerSchool, you must enter a support ticket with the new user's name, roll at school, and desired level of security permission.
