“Our strategic plan calls for engaging parents and the community in the education of our students. Prior to the transition to the PowerSchool eSchoolPlus SIS gradebook, parents had to go to multiple pages. It was disjointed and more difficult to navigate. Now, they get all their information from one place. Home Access Center enables our parents to have access to their student’s attendance, discipline record, grades, and schedule.”

“I’ve always been a believer that [PowerSchool Learning] is easy to use. It’s just so intuitive. We hit the ground running, getting people on board without any training. Every department got really creative about how they could use it.”

“Our state recommended that students should not have negative accountability for anything that happens during this time. So, grades are not permitted to be lower than they were on the last day in school. Now we have an easy snapshot of each student’s grades on the last day of school and where their grades are now.”

“The ability to see the whole school division, a single school, a teacher, or a specific class section with simple changes in a dashboard selection is a great time saver for me.”

“In the past we were guessing at what our kids’ needs were. With PowerSchool Assessment we are able to pinpoint areas that allow us to individualize their learning experience. We are able to pinpoint areas where they do well and those areas we need to revisit. That is the purpose of education, you meet the kids where they are.”

“There is now a connection for students. Kids rarely get feedback on their benchmark scores. The PowerSchool Assessment student profile connected it for them. Now our students connect their formative weekly data in their data binder to their quarterly data and yearly performance. The data leads us into more and richer student conversations.”

“When we were piloting, we were just thinking in terms of instructional usage in the classroom. We quickly discovered that our building administrators were also interested in using [PowerSchool Learning] and Google to communicate and collaborate with their staff. While it wasn’t what we had been gearing up for, it’s become a really unbelievable outcome.”

“Teachers quickly realized the time savings in not having to continually upload a Word doc or a PDF with each edit. They really saw the value of that and it translated into a high adoption rate for [PowerSchool Learning] and Google. Teachers began posting class notes, homework, test reviews and more—anything that streamlines their work—the teachers love it.”

“PowerSchool is quick, easy to use, and has definitely helped us become more efficient.”

“Our staff was frustrated, including me, Washington Local Schools’ EMIS Coordinator and District PowerSchool Administrator. We knew we needed a new student information system, and we had many important priorities. Change can be difficult, so we really wanted a long-term solution with an industry leader. We were looking for a product that has been, and will continue to be, around for a long time.”

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”

“PowerSchool is a one-stop shop. You can do it all, easily, from one screen check attendance, historical grades, and more.”

“All along, the PowerSchool Registration team have been responsive to – even proactive about – our questions and our needs.”

“I have confidence that if we have a problem, they will find a solution. And I know we won’t be nickel and dimed for that solution. Nothing about or from the company is what I’d call ‘off the shelf."

“We love PowerSchool and can’t fathom using any other SIS [student information system]. It has created ways of tracking and reporting on student data that we never thought possible.”
