PowerSchool has released a new gradebook that is available for teachers to use with our current version of PowerSchool. The new gradebook is web-based (think “no more Java” and “accessible from almost any web enabled device”). It was designed from the ground up to be a gradebook that works the way teachers do. For the 2016-17 school year, teachers have the option to use either the new PowerTeacher Pro (PTP) gradebook or the traditional PowerTeacher Gradebook (PTG). The SIS Support team has compiled a variety of resources to help teachers decide whether PowerTeacher Pro is right for them and help them learn more about how to transition to the PTP gradebook. These resources also can be accessed through the Staff section of the ACPS website, plus we’ll offer sessions at Making Connections later this fall.

If you are a teacher who is interested in transitioning to the PowerTeacher Pro gradebook, please email SIS Support and we will be glad to enable the PTP gradebook for you and assist you with making the change.
