Hi teststudent‌,

As we sync our data from PowerSchool to Canvas our Canvas SIS IDs are different than the student numbers in PowerSchool. For example, we have a student with the PS student number of 2468456, but their Canvas SIS ID is "student_104."

So to answer your question, I'm not sure what data from PowerSchool you would want to match apart from First_Name, Last_Name, Student Email address, Course Enrollments, and Student ID? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question?

Are you just looking for how to do a quick export of student fields from PowerSchool?

Thanks,

Rob

You can export the DCID from PowerSchool in a variety of places. I usually find it easiest through Quick Export. I couldn't get my screenshot to upload here in the community. The link is Shared album - Tricia Jackson - Google Photos .

I saw the full batch import script below for Powershell, but we use Linux servers. Does anyone have a version they would…
