Follow this guide to set up PowerSchool and Minga to synchronize student roster data
Permission Level: Owner | District Manager
Step 1
To set up automatic rostering with PowerSchool for your school or district, please reach out to support@minga.io to receive a connection request. Please ensure that your request contains the following information:
- The name of your district
- The name of the school you are rostering
- The name and email address of the district IT contact who manages SIS integration
Step 2
Once you have received your connection request and have been notified by the Minga Support team that your connection is live, you can configure your rostering settings.
You can enable student, teacher, staff, and admin rostering separately as well as include Primary Parent Contact Info depending on what data you want to synchronize in Minga.
Minga can automatically update information for existing users (for example if a student's name was changed in the SIS then their name would be automatically updated in Minga). By default Minga will Skip users that are already setup in Minga. To automatically update their information toggle on Auto update.
Minga can also automatically Archive (delete) users that are no longer included in the rostering data (for example when a student leaves the school) by toggling on Archive.
Please note*: Minga recommends having the Auto update and Archive settings toggled off at first until you have verified your rostering is syncing correctly in your Minga. Then toggle them on accordingly to ensure up-to-date rostering.
Configure Class Lists
- *Please note* ClassGroups and Classes will have to be enabled for sharing during the OneRoster integration in order to pull into Minga.
- Toggle On Sync class rosters as user lists automatically
- Click the Manage button next to Manage class rosters to be synced
- Select Terms and Grades for pulling in class lists. *Please Note*: Class Lists will not roster in unless this part is configured.
- Click Save then Save
Follow these instructions for checking and editing class lists
Get notified of Roster Sync Results
Owners can set up an email notification with all of the information from the daily roster sync. This will allow technical owners to get assurance that the sync is working or to troubleshoot immediately if any issues are detected.
