How to Graduate a Student Early Before EOY

When a student graduates from a school district, PowerSchool uses the End of Year process to properly move a student from their last primary school enrollment into the Graduated Students school. 

This procedure will transfer the early graduate out of a school and leave him as an inactive student until the end of the year. This will ensure his graduation is properly reported in MSDS.

1. Select the student that will be graduating early.
2. Navigate to the Functions student screen and click the Transfer Out of School link.
3. Enter an appropriate Transfer Comment such as "Graduated."
4. Enter the date of the student's transfer. This should be the day after the student's last day in class.
5. Select an Exit Code appropriate for a graduating student.
6. Click Submit.
7. Verify that the student was successfully transferred out of school. The words "Transferred Out" should be displayed at the top of each student page.

PLEASE KEEP A LIST OF ALL EARLY GRADUATES. THE LIST WILL BE USED FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES DURING THE EOY PROCESS.

2.1. Lining Up Mailing Labels to Print

When creating mailing labels, the print settings must be correct before sending the labels to the printer. If not, the labels will not format correctly when printed. The following example is a guideline for all mailing labels, but are more specific to Avery 5160 Mailing labels.
Example:

1. Acrobat Page Scaling set to none (see Note below)
2. Font Size: 12
3. Line Height: 10
4. Page Left Margin: 0.5"
5. Page Top Margin: 0.5"
6. Label Width is 2.75"
7. Label Height is 1"
8. 3 columns and 10 rows
9. No spaces between rows and columns
10. Vertical and horizontal padding: 0.5"
11. Depending on the type of font you use, you may have to adjust the margins to fit your text.

Note: In order to set Page Scaling to 'none', you must "Save As" an Adobe PDF, and then open the document directly from Adobe.  You will not have the option to set the scaling to none if you open the document from PowerSchool.
