Photos import

Last updated May 11, 2021

Marion's first part:

1. PowerSchool -> select all students and quick export:

student_number

first_name

last_name

grade_level

2. Copy last year's Google doc and name it "20XX-20XY PowerSchool Photos Import," update contents with export from previous step

3. Share to Erin and/or others

Erin's part:

1. Fill in image names in the righthand columns

2. When done, let Marion know + send her a link to download the photos (or share from Google, whatever)

Marion's other part:

1. Resize photos to something manageable (select in batches and open in Preview, reduce to 30%)

2. Select half of the images, right-click, Compress, repeat for rest of images (PS upload max is 100MB) DO NOT COMPRESS THE ENCLOSING FOLDER

3. Get spreadsheet, nuke header row and all but student_number and image name columns, copy and paste into BBEdit, make sure it has Unix linefeeds and tab separations

4. PowerSchool start page -> System -> Photo Management and follow prompts

November 2018 -- the thumbnails weren't showing on student pages, fixed here:

For teachers: Same as for students but quick export

TeacherNumber

first_name

last_name

and put on 2nd tab of sheet above, delete sub nurse and MBA plugins and Perry's accounts (not real people)
