Please note: These procedures were developed by Lance Suter, a CPS-using Classroomteacher , and a member of the eInstruction Classroom Champions Group.As such, these are suggestions, and are not official procedures developed by eInstructionor Pearson and thus are not officially supported by either.I am simply providing these, with Lance’s permission, in hopes they will benefit CPSusers who wish to interface with Powerschool.I welcome any suggestions or recommendations that may be discovered as for a morefacile way to accomplish this.This HAS been forwarded to dozens of eInstruction consultants ( like myself) around thecountry and so far no concerns or problems have been raised.Backing up your data and your CPS databases to an external source (CD, USB flashdrive) is accepted practice and highly recommended. Using these procedures should notaffect your existing data, but as I wise man once said “We don’t plan to fail, butsometimes we fail to plan”.I hope this is useful and would love to hear your feedback.
