Special Education Fields
This article contains details on special education fields; definitions and where to find them in PowerSchool.
To locate these fields in PowerSchool:
- Open a student account
- Find the line in the navigation menu called IEP Info (for teachers) which is actually two separate links
- As an administrator or DC, click IEP Info – This will provide access to update all fields
- As teachers, click (for teachers) – This will provide access to update accomodation notes
Note: Both the IEP Info link and (for teachers) link give users the EXACT same data. The only difference is that administrators can update all fields and teachers can only update the accomodation notes.
