How do I make a seating chart?

Seating charts are unfortunately not available in PowerSchool at this time.

If you would like to make a seating chart using your current student data, you can do so in Making the Grade.

1. Launch PowerTeacher Gradebook
2. Select the Class on left.
3. Click the Reports tab at top.
4. Scroll down to Student Roster and select.
5. Make the following selections on the report:
1. Order Type: Export CSV
2. Section: Selected class
3. Students: Enrolled Class
4. Student Info: Student Name
5. Sort: Student Last Name
6. Click Run Report.
7. Click Open Report and an Excel spreadsheet will open.
8. Click on the File menu at top to do a Save As. You can rename the file, but be sure to leave the .csv at the end, or this will not import into Making the Grade. Make a note of where you are saving to so that you can find this file later.
9. Click Save. On the next dialog box that pops up, click Yes.
10. Open Making the Grade
11. Set up a New Class. At the bottom of that screen, set to "All but Roster".
12. You will get to a screen with a BLANK roster of student names. Click Import.
13. Click "ASCII/Test File".
14. Find the .csv file you saved earlier. Click Done.
15. Notice that Names 1 and 2 need to be deleted with the Edit Student menu. Drop and delete.
16. Now you are ready to create your seating charts.
