Chancery SMS
Student Demographics
Chancery SMS is a student-centric system, with all data pertinent to a student record available from a single location. There is no need to open separate modules to access different types of information such as grades, attendance, schedules, etc. Student demographic data is conveniently organized in a series of tabs to allow data to be viewed and entered in an efficient manner.
Student Search
Users can now search the student database based on any combination of student demographic data elements, including custom elements added with cTools. Search results display in a customizable grid format and can be printed easily in report format or saved to a list for one-click access in the future.
Incident Management
Chancery SMS 7 includes incident-based student behavior tracking, allowing a single incident to be created, with multiple students associated with the incident. Primary offenders, incident victims and witnesses can be tracked for each incident. For incidents with multiple primary offenders, separate incident involvement and consequences can be assigned to each student.
Scheduling
Scheduling for the upcoming school year in Chancery SMS is facilitated through a system of Planning Calendars in the core system. This means there is no separate database or system to access or maintain: everything is done in the same system and database that users are accustomed to accessing. Students are dynamically promoted to the correct school and grade level for the upcoming year in the Planning Calendar, as students enter or leave the district during the active year, the Planning Calendars are dynamically updated to reflect the accurate student population for the upcoming year. An unlimited number of scheduling scenarios can be maintained within the Planning Calendar, with each scenario able to copy any subset of elements from a previous scenario when necessary.
Tracking Student Immunizations
Student immunization compliance is calculated in real-time against the district-defined immunization policies.
Program Management
Program Management allows the district to define and manage programs within the SIS, including program eligibility criteria. Program Management allows schools to view and manage their programs from a single-centralized screen, including program dates, number of participants, and number of applications.
Student Program Eligibility
Program Management allows users to view a student's complete program participation history, including current and historical programs as well as applications and application status. Automatic eligibility calculations allow users to quickly view the reasons for the student's eligibility or ineligibility.
Attendance Alerts
Schools may define a set of Attendance Exception Rules against which students are automatically evaluated. When a student is found to be in violation of one or more Attendance Exception Rules an Active Alert is automatically sent to designated recipients alerting them of the violation.

"Above all, we needed an interoperable solution that would upgrade SASI/MMS and enable us to move from 11 servers to one server, PowerSchool has made that possible. Because of PowerSchool, teachers and parents are now a part of a collaborative infrastructure that continues to impact student performance across our district."
