School Division
A school division is a separate entity within your school.  School are typically separated into divisions such as Upper School, Middle School, Lower School, Admissions.  Note: You might also have a separate division for Summer School, Athletics, or Extracurricular Activities.

Creating a separate School Division allows you to:
- Manage different types of schedules within each division
- Manage different types of grades and reports per division
- Support different number of marking periods (trimesters, semesters, quarters) per division
- Limit which students are visible within each division Note: Student by Division explains in detail how a student might belong to a division.

Note: School Divisions are initially set up by PCR Educator.  If you need more school divisions, you need to contact PCR Educator to have new ones created.

Note: School ids can be found under Home in the dropdown in the upper right-hand side of the page.
