“When I decided to accept a long-term sub position, I had no idea how involved it would end up being. I was completely unfamiliar with PowerSchool and many other programs. Once I started doing the online training and began navigating through all of the different areas, I was amazed at how easy it was to get through. The system itself is very user friendly, and it has been a game-changer in the classroom. I would highly recommend anyone who has never used it to start with the PD+ Training, as it explains so many of the details needed.”

“With technology integration, we have to make sure that whatever tools we use are good for students’ learning, and they also have to be easy to use so teachers can seamlessly integrate them into their instruction. Different, disparate systems impacted the students’ experience and the parent experience when the child got home. We started having conversations about how we could unify this experience. How do we decide on one platform, one LMS which would provide one-stop shopping for teachers, student and parents, so that we could all speak the same language? We wanted to make sure we could use the technology easily to make sure the kids’ experience was heightened.”

"Everybody else we talked to told us 'no. PowerSchool was there for us in our time of need."

“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.”

“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.”

“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."
