PowerSchool SIS Integration
This guide provides information for data elements that are written between PowerSchool SIS and PowerSchool Special Programs to mitigate dual data entry. The intent is to provide special education data so that all state reports can be generated for PowerSchool SIS. PowerSchool SIS can autofill information into the special education forms (such as student’s address information).
Data Exchanged between PowerSchool SIS and PowerSchool Special Programs
PowerSchool - Student Import Data
PowerSchool SIS owns student demographic data (e.g., student name, gender, GTID). This data is imported into Special Programs using the Student Demographics import that can be generated manually or configured to run on a scheduled basis using the Data Connectivity Tool. This and other Import Layouts can be found by navigating to Administration, Configuration, Integration, Import Layouts using the data source type: PowerSchool SIS Rest API.
Reports
A scheduled task is run to upload data to PowerSchool SIS, comparing the data in PowerSchool SIS to the data in the export reports (PowerSchool Special Programs). If the data does not exist, the data will be added to PowerSchool SIS. If the data exists, the data will be updated.
The following reports are available in Reporting, Standard Reports, and PowerSchool Export Reports.
Resources
Help Guides and Support are located under the question tag icon in the application header.
Data Connectivity Tool (DCT) resources are located under Administration > Configuration > Integration > Select the More drop-down.
Data Connectivity Guide – provides step-by-step instructions for setting up integration using the data connectivity tool and managing settings.
Data Connectivity Tool – plug-in required for integration.
Understanding the Mapping Table
Each setup table may include some or all of the following elements. Reports will not display elements that are not pertinent to that report.
Breadcrumbs and Navigation – The navigation aid shows the path to the data entry page as listed on the page in PowerSchool Special Programs. Each “>” indicates a new page or link. Example: Student > Profile.
Data Element – The name of the field as it appears in the state report.
Field Name – The name of the field where the data is stored./ {PrimaryDisability}
Reports – The name of each report that uses the data element. This field may be populated with “Required Setup” or “Not Required” to indicate whether the data element should be configured for Utah state reporting not specific to a report.
Student Import Layout
Student Import Layout (model) and Student Change Notification (model)
