What students can I change in the Scheduling Set-up Page?
- If the student transferred from school A to school B in 16-17 and did NOT participate in the Universal Enrollment Application Process but transferred through at the Family Support Center, the student will continue in school B for 17-18. You can change the Next School and check Schedule this Student.
- Verify the School Force expected to attend list. If you do not see some of these students in PowerScheduler contact the current school and have them change the Next School to your school and delete any course requests.
- If the student wishes to transfer to another school that is not B, the student must have either been matched through Universal Enrollment Application or go to the Family Support Center for placement.
- Current 9th – 11th graders who are not coming back to the school: Must provide documentation from parent before unchecking “schedule this student.” Follow the guidelines for transfers in the End of the Year Tasks guidance.
