Emailing from PowerTeacher Pro


  1. Log in to PowerTeacher https://ucfsd.powerschool.com/teachers

  2. Launch PowerTeacher Pro Gradebook

  3. Click on the “Gear” icon in the top right and click “Show Filter”

  1. Click on the plus + icon in the top right corner and click “Email”

  1. Choose your recipients

IMPORTANT:

The contact list by default includes the student’s emergency contacts as well. Please make sure you are only checking the box next to the parents of each student, or using the filter to ensure only mother and father are selected! HOW TO USE THE FILTER


  1. Once you are done selecting your recipients, click the “Copy Emails” button. This will create a list that you can paste into GMAIL.

  2. Open GMAIL and compose a new message. Paste the emails in the BCC of your email.

Put YOUR email address in the TO: line. 

  1. OR, If you do not need to use GMAIL, click the “Message” tab to send directly from PowerSchool. Keep in mind, this is a simple messenger. No fancy formatting in this version but it will be coming! Add yourself as a “CC” to see what was sent to parents

HOW TO USE THE FILTER

In the video demonstration, I reviewed how to use the filter. As long as you have the filter activated (using STEP 3 above), you should be able to set these settings before grabbing the email addresses.

1. Click the plus sign

2. Change the drop-down to "Contact Type"

3. Check the box for "Guardian/Has Custody"

4. Click "Apply"

5. Notice that the number of recipients drops down - just a quick indicator that emergency contacts were filtered out

6. From there, you can “select all” in the contacts column, or check the box next to each contact.
