PowerSchool is a platform that allows users to send personalized emails to students and parents. It is possible to import student emails into PowerSchool, although it is a manual process. Users can send emails to students and parents by grade level, with the ability to select specific grades and add them to the email. This feature is particularly useful for sending weekly grade reports to students and parents. Additionally, PowerSchool enables users to send mass emails to the entire school community, including parents and guardians. However, some users have reported difficulties with the new version of the platform, indicating that the mass email function may not be as accessible as in previous versions.

What You'll Learn
Sending emails to multiple grades without manually entering each email address
Firstly, identify the specific grades you need to contact. This will help you determine the relevant student groups and email lists.
If you are using PowerSchool, navigate to the start page and select "Advanced." From there, choose the desired grade level, such as "5 (5th grade)," and add it to your selection. Close that page, and on the bottom right, locate the "custom student list" option. This will allow you to access the email fields for all students in that particular grade.
Another approach is to utilize the organizational units set up by your district within the email system. These units are designed to facilitate mass communications. Contact your district's technical team or relevant personnel to understand the specific setup and process for sending emails to multiple grades.
Additionally, consider using a notification system. Most schools and districts have one in place for mass notifications, such as calling off school or sending general updates. This system can be leveraged to communicate with multiple grades simultaneously.
If you are using a web-based email program, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, there might be an additional step. In some cases, your browser may not automatically log you into your email account when sending messages. You can refer to your email provider's help menu or manual to troubleshoot this issue and find posted solutions.
Lastly, ensure that you have access to an updated list of student email addresses. You can import student emails into PowerSchool by going to the "Importing & Exporting" tab and then selecting "Data Import Manager." One of the import options will be "Student Email." Upload the spreadsheet, map the columns, and you'll be ready to send emails without having to manually enter each address.

Sending personalized emails with grades to students
Firstly, it is important to note that the process may vary depending on the specific PowerSchool product being used. For instance, if it is just a general email, the district will likely have organizational units set up within the email system that can facilitate this process.
To send emails to students with their grades, start by creating a draft of the email that includes a placeholder for the student's name and grade. This can be done in any text editor or directly in the PowerSchool platform. Ensure that the email is tailored to the specific grade level or group you intend to target.
Next, import the student email addresses into PowerSchool. Go to the "Importing & Exporting" tab and then select "Data Import Manager". One of the import dropdowns will be "Student Email". Upload the spreadsheet containing student email addresses and map the columns accordingly.
Once the student email addresses have been imported, select the specific grade levels or groups you want to target. On the start page, click on "Advanced", then select the desired grade level, such as "5" for 5th grade. After that, close out of that page and scroll to "Custom Student List" on the bottom right.
Now, you can generate a list of email addresses for the selected grade level. This can be done by grabbing the field value of "U_Students_Extension.Student_Email" and submitting it. A page will be generated, displaying all the requested field values. Copy the column with the emails and paste them into your email service provider or email client.
Finally, send the personalized emails to the students by replacing the placeholder names and grades with the corresponding student information. This process can be repeated for different grade levels or groups as needed.
By following these steps, administrators can efficiently send personalized emails with grades to students using PowerSchool without having to manually enter each student's email address.

Importing student emails into PowerSchool
Next, go to the "Importing & Exporting" tab in PowerSchool and select "Data Import Manager". Choose "Student Email" from the import dropdowns, then upload your spreadsheet and map the columns.
It is worth noting that the student email field is not part of the students' table, so you will need to match the student number or dcid for each student for proper mapping. This means you will need to have that information in your source system to export and import into PowerSchool for matching.
Additionally, to sync student email addresses with Schoology, the email address must appear in two places in PowerSchool. Firstly, on the student's demographics page, and secondly, in the "EmailAddress" table in the PowerSchool Oracle database.

Changing the student email page
To change the student email page, follow these steps:
- Create a spreadsheet with all the students' Google email addresses in one column and their corresponding PowerSchool numbers in another column.
- Go to the "Importing & Exporting" tab and then select "Data Import Manager".
- Choose the "Student Email" import option and upload the spreadsheet.
- Map the columns to ensure that the email addresses are correctly matched with the corresponding PowerSchool numbers.
- Go to the student email page for each student and click the "COPY" button. This will fill in the primary email address from the demographics page.
- The email address should now be synced with Schoology.
It is important to note that the student email field is stored in the 'EmailAddress' table within the PowerSchool Oracle database. To extract student email addresses for SQL queries, you will need a unique identifier to connect each student to their email address through multiple tables.

Resetting parent passwords
If you are a parent and have forgotten your PowerSchool password, there are several ways to reset it. Firstly, check if your school district has enabled the feature to reset your password through the website. If this is the case, you can reset your password by following the usual steps for password recovery.
If you are unable to reset your password this way, you will need to reach out to your school or district for assistance. You can also try logging into the website, as the website is not case-sensitive in the username field, unlike the app. If you are still unable to log in, contact your school district, as they will have access to reset your password.
If you are a PS administrator, you can reset a parent's PS access password by following these steps:
- Search and access the student's profile on the start page.
- Go to the student's Access Accounts page and click on the name of the parent.
- Click 'Edit Account' under Web Account Access.
- Enter the new password you want to set for the parent twice and click 'Submit'.
