PowerSchool Admin :: Drop Students from a Class

Adding classes to a student's schedule is just one part of the scheduling process. Dropping classes is another part. You have two options to drop a class from a student's schedule: 1) drop a single student, or 2) mass drop a group of students.

Drop a Single Student

On the student's Modify Schedule page, select Drop next to the section enrollment(s) to drop classes individually. Then, click Drop Selected (when dropping just a few classes), or Drop All (when dropping all classes). Finally, verify the date the student is leaving the class or classes. The exit date is extremely important; it should always be the day after the last day the student attended class.

Drop Multiple Students at Once

The other option you have is to drop multiple students from a class at once. For example, new student enrollments can affect the number of sections you need to offer for required courses. If you didn't plan for those new students, you may need to create a new section. To balance out the sections, drop some students from one section, then enroll them into the new section. Perform all of these functions by navigating to the Teacher Schedules page, selecting a teacher, and clicking an enrollment number.

1. On the Start Page, click Teacher Schedules

2. Enter the teacher's name whose students you need to drop from that section

3. Click the section enrollment number

4. Clear the Select All check box

5. Select five student names

6. Click Drop from this Class

7. Check Clear Attendance on and after Exit Date

8. Scroll down to Drop Students
