“We are a K-12 public charter school with approximately 1,300 students. Prior to utilizing PowerSchool Enrollment, the application, enrollment, and re-enrollment process was still all paper based. This meant a lot of time and [energy] were spent on photocopies and data entry, including errors in trying to decipher handwriting. There were also countless phone and email reminders, as well as multiple paper packets, given to the same families over and over to be completed. We were able to transition from pen and paper to electronic very smoothly. All notifications are now done directly through PowerSchool Enrollment. We no longer print out letters and mail them, and emails are more streamlined, and there is no more mail merge. Tracking of the forms was done all in one place and could be handled by one person more efficiently. All aspects—from implementation to going live—were very structured and detail oriented. Any questions that arose was answered promptly, usually within the same day. The trainer was very thorough and well versed in all aspects of the product. With every module we were shown, the connection was made from what was being done to how it would be accomplished now.”

"The training for us didn't take very long, and it was easy to implement."

"We use PowerSchool Registration for our annual student updates, applications for inter- and intra-district transfers, Katy Virtual Schools enrollment, Katy Summer Academic Term enrollment, and new student registration. Future use will include our Career and Technology center applications. Our district uses tags, which are alerts to better prepare the campus register for each student’s individual situation. This includes new students that register for Katy ISD and indicate their home language is one other than English, the system automatically flags the student and applies an alert to the student’s record. Therefore we can prepare and provide ELL testing prior to the student enrolling.​"

“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."
