Upload Grade Changes to ISBE SIS

Student Course assignments (student courses and grades earned) are uploaded to ISBE SIS

at the end of each grading semester by the Admin for state reporting at the district level. Any

registrar grade changes or additions (Student enrolls with a transcript from another school district

outside of Illinois or a private school) must be uploaded to ISBE SIS.  

Outside course assignments need an active enrollment to be entered. Student course assignments just need an enrollment with the same home and serving RCDTS and within the enrollment dates. But can be exited.

Prepare an excel file of students/course assignments for upload.  Sort the file by school

year/term /glenbard earned grade.  ALL student course assignments for the selected

student/school year/term will be submitted to ISBE, not just the course with a grade change.

Each unique school year/term/glenbard earned grade sort will become a batch which can contain

multiple student numbers.

Select a single student number or select multiple student_numbers from your worksheet for your batch in the Powershool search box:

Run the student course assignment report in Powerschool.

/system reports/state reports/IL student course assignment (you can navigate to the

state report once and bookmark the page on your browser for quick way to run the report).

The report will be in the report que.  The file is in .txt format. Open file and save or right click on the word

‘view’ and save as to your computer.

Note the filename.txt  which you will need to know after the batch processing is complete.

Warning==> Look at the file to make sure the results are as expected. Always make sure

you are uploading the data you are intending to send to ISBE.
