[EXTERNAL EMAIL] [psug-il] PowerTeacher - Default to current term only or allow teacher to select

Hi Kate,

 

We use this customization when we are between semesters and it works well for us.  We are currently on PS 22.9.

 

Thanks,

Good morning,

 

I think the Teacher Term Filter may add exactly what you're looking for. It's available on the exchange at https://support.powerschool.com/exchange/view.action?download.id=1105

 

As of now, the plugin still works as expected for us on 22.12.0.1, but the original creator did mention that he would no longer be supporting it so it may end up re-posted by a different user in the future if an update is necessary due to something breaking. Of note, Joseph's minor code change in comment #22 is definitely recommended in order to not lose the header row after a term is selected.

From the first year we started with PowerSchool (seems like forever) until now, our teachers have continued to ask why they have to look at both their Sem 1 and Sem 2 classes in PowerTeacher, instead of being able to select a single term  (Or have it default to the current term.  (Note: Our district separates even "yearlong" classes into two separate classes for scheduling reasons.  So even a teacher teaching 5 classes in a semester could see 10 classes.  And, long sad story, there are cases where teachers see more.)

I've voted up every request I can find that seems related.  This seems so basic since you can do it on the Admin side.

Is anyone aware of a customization already available to make this an option for our teachers?
