[Counselors] PowerSchool

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We use STI Info Now (now called Chalkable) in Hennessey.  There is a credit
check report that can give an estimate of credits earned for each student
by type of classes, although it doesn't really address all the exceptions
for meeting graduation requirements.   (I do use it occasionally, but I
have found manually checking to be the only way to know for sure.)  I have
a notebook for each grad class with grad requirement checksheets for each
student, and I go over it with each student and manually check each
transcript during junior year prior to them making senior course requests.
I also work slowly and methodically with senior scheduling refering to the
check sheets on each student.  If a senior wants to change thier schedule
or drop a class, I will not do anything until I refer to the notebook.
This helps keep it straight so final transcript checks are pretty much
confirming everything needed was earned.

Testing is also on the credit check sheet and I check that the same way.
