PowerSchool Current selection Can Include Pre-Enrolled Students
When sending an announcement to the current selection the system still filters the current selection to include only active students. This is especially a problem for pre-registered students as we want to include them in messages.
The current suggested work-around is to upload a CSV of these students to send a notification. That may work for some, but this time of year we register an average of 10-15 new students per day. One of the biggest reasons we purchased this solution to get away from exporting/importing CSV files.
Please remove any filters from the current selection.

I agree with Linda, this is not acceptable. Pre-Registered students are ones that will becoming active soon, and the more we can reach the more that will be active when we renew. It is only beneficial to you to include this data.

Linda,
Thank you for the feedback. The system is currently priced per active students so current selection has been limited to this. While we do have the option for you to upload custom community contacts that could include these pre-enrolled students, we understand that having them as a current selection would be easier for you. This continues to be under review for our Engineering staff and I do anticipate that at some point in the future we will do this.Please consider adding your vote for this feature along with your comment. Our management team considers these aspects when setting our development priorities. You may also wish to subscribe to receive status updates.
Thank you again for your feedback!

Yes.... this is not acceptable. We need to contact our pre-registered students with current selection. We cannot be uploading on a weekly basis.
