Where is it calculating the Days Present and Days Enrolled from? Our numbers are not accurate. They appear to be pulling from EntryDate/ExitDate, rather than EntryDate/Current Date. Would be helpful if the numbers reflected days present and days enrolled as of the date it runs, YTD, rather than total full year, since that's only accurate after the year is over.

PSCB

Thu, 10/08/2020 - 3:09pm

The next release of the plugin will display Present and Enrolled totals based on YTD.

This is a great report card. Is there a way we can print all student report cards in a bulk? Instead of going through one student at a time.

If you install Adam Larsen's Mass Print Student Screen plugin, you can mass print the report card for a selected group of students.

This is a great plugin. I was wondering is there a way we can be able to print this in the bulk for all our students. Instead of going through one student at a time?

Good morning. Has there been any thought in adding a section for GPA? Maybe a section where you choose the GPA calculation method that would show on the report card? Maybe one for the last stored grade and one for cumulative?

We have found that you can put the coding for your GPA calculation in the School Message box and it pulls fine.

First of all, I would like to say thank you very much for creating/sharing this report card report. This is exactly the type of report we've been wanting since we started with PowerSchool 5 years ago.
I am just wondering if there would be any way to add the school who administered the course (preferably by school code or abbreviation). It is very common for our students to complete concurrent courses via our Outreach schools.
Thank you.

Your request has been added to the PSCB enhancement list, but it is not a report addition that we can provide at this time.

Hi Rob, maybe this is a dumb question but I'm not seeing the difference between version 1.6 and this one. The Teacher Comment section in the setup looks the same unless I'm missing something or it's a functionality change. What should I be seeing new in version 1.7?
Thanks

PSCB

Mon, 05/17/2021 - 7:49am

V1.7 fixed a minor issue with teacher comments not displaying correctly for selected terms.

I currently have Custom Reports Bundle - Grading; Publisher Power Data Solutions. I am trying to update the Plug In because the 'Final Grades Setup' report is no longer working. We are now completely on PT Pro Gradebook for all teachers. The error I get when I try to update the plugin is "The plugin name or publisher of this plugin does not match the plugin name or publisher of the currently installed plugin. In order to successfully update the currently installed plugin, the new plugin must have a matching plugin name and publisher." Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

PSCB

Wed, 05/19/2021 - 6:12pm

The Custom Report Bundle-Grading is no longer supported by the original developers.

You need to delete this plugin and install the following PSCB plugins.

PSCB - Custom Reports (Grading) v2.8
PSCB - Base Resources v3.3
PSCB - Custom Reports (_Home Page) v2.0

After I put in my grading periods, the courses and grades aren't showing up on the report card. What am I doing wrong?

PSCB

Thu, 10/07/2021 - 6:16pm

1. Confirm that the PSCB - Customization (Student Report Card) v1.7 is installed and enabled.

2. At the school level.
Navigate to: Start Page > School Setup > Report Card > PSCB Traditional Report Card Setup.
Complete all Report Card setup preferences.

How do you mass print this report card for an entire grade?
I haven't been able to find it other than on the individual student page

If you have the Mass Print a Student Screen Plugin installed you can do the following to mass print the report card.
1. Select your group of students.
2. In the Group Functions Dropdown next to the Select Students by Hand select the Mass Print Student Screen under the Printing group.
3. Scroll towards the bottom of the choices until you find the PSCB Report Card choice and select.
This will allow you to mass print the report card for the group you have selected.
The Mass Print a Student Screen plugin can be found in PowerSource and was created by Adam Larsen.
Good Luck

This report card pulls traditional historical grades so if you're using standards it won't work and if you haven't stored grades yet it won't show anything either.
Hope this helps.

I have setup the report card as instructed but I do not see any courses/grades in the Parent portal. Also is there a way for parents to Print the report card in the Parent Portal? When I try to print the page is blank.

Dorothy, in order for the parents to see the report card you will need to install and setup the Custom Public Portal plugin. Then read the setup instructions for the report card. This will look like the same report card that shows on the admin portal but it's a different plugin. The plugin for the admin one does not show in the public portal.
Hope this helps.

We have one school using this report and some student report cards are missing some classes randomly. They are there when I use a built-in report from PowerSchool. Can you advise what might be causing the classes to be missing?

PSCB

Thu, 10/14/2021 - 2:45pm

Confirm that grade has been stored for classes without a grade on the report card.

PSCB Development has no plans to develop a Standards Based report card.

I would suggest you consider using the MBA Report Creator plugin:

Great product and widely implemented by users on this site.

Good morning. In the parent portal, no courses, grades or attendance records are showing up on the report card. The grades appear in the historical grade tab and on the admin side of the SIS. Please advise as to how and troubleshoot.

When selecting to display course attendance information it's displaying double the course absence tallies. Example - Student displays an absence code 6 times for the course, but the ABS total displays 12. Some instances I can see that the Daily Attendance is different from the YTD Attendance. Although the Term Values will be different they should still add up to be the overall via the TYTD. I have physically counted the attendance assigned to the student(s) in question. Please advise.

Hello,
Awesome plugin! Works great but when we view a report card the wrong school displays at the top. Other random school names appear, not the school currently logged into. Any ideas on that?

The report card uses the school name field.
Start Page > District Setup > Schools/School Info > Edit School
Confirm that the school name has been entered correctly for each school.

I upgraded to this plugin so it would clear up the duplicate courses, which works great. But the only problem is now that the School Name is not Displaying anymore. It is just blank. It puts all the other school info in there like the Address, etc... I have went back and verified that my school name and info is set correctly. We really like the report card and would like to see if we can get that fixed.
