Exiting Students from SDUSD

The purpose of this page is to alert you to the tool in PowerSchool for documenting where students go after leaving our district.

Each secondary school is responsible for entering their students' exit information on an ongoing basis. Schools will know which students' documentation needs to be updated by running a report in PowerSchool. Click here for detailed instructions on how to complete the District Exit page.
