Future Ready Data Collection | PowerSchool SIS Compliance

Overview

Montana state reporting requires school districts to collect and report Future Ready data for students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework.

To support these requirements, data elements are collected at the student course enrollment level. Users can record and manage this information across two workflows:

Course Registration (Individual Section Enrollment): Edit an individual student's course enrollment record.
Montana Future Ready Page (Compliance): Centralized view allowing users to update Future Ready fields across all course enrollments for a selected term.

Method 1: From the Course Registration Page

Navigate to: Start Page > Student Selection > Courses and Programs > Course Registration.
Select Edit for the desired course section enrollment.
Locate the Montana State Information section and scroll to the Future Ready subsection.
Enter the required Future Ready values:
- Eligible for Credit
- AP/IB Score
- IB Assessment Level
Select Submit to save changes.

Method 2: From the Montana Future Ready Compliance Page

Navigate to: Start Page > Student Selection > Compliance > Future Ready.
Verify or select the appropriate Term from the term picker in the header.
(Optional) Select the Include Dropped Classes checkbox if you need to review and record data for dropped enrollments:
- Cleared (Default): Displays active course enrollments only.
- Selected: Displays both active and dropped course enrollments.
In the enrollment grid, enter or update the editable Future Ready columns for each course enrollment.
Select Submit to save all updates.
