“It makes your life so much easier that you can go in, and just do what you need to do easily. It’s very reliable and extremely user-friendly. PowerSchool is just intuitive so it’s very easy to navigate and use. It doesn’t require tech training, and it’s not intimidating.”
“Kern Education Pledge members are committed to taking this collaboration to the next level by formalizing data sharing and engaging in activities around shared responsibility and shared accountability. Our goal is to focus on closing achievement gaps between student groups through an equity lens and ultimately prepare students for career and life success.”
"Attendance is extremely important and directly affects student achievement. Students learn best when they are in school. Home and school have to work together to ensure that students are there. It is incumbent on the school to report promptly when a student isn’t at school."
“We saw an increase in first day attendance of 24% over the previous year for our Texas College Preparatory Academies who use [PowerSchool Registration]. That is significant. It shows our post-lottery recruitment communication with families over the summer was effective. We implemented those marketing strategies only because we can, now that we have [PowerSchool Registration].”
“We selected [PowerSchool Registration] as our enrollment service provider because we wanted to find a vendor that would become our partner, as we partner with our families. We have found that in [PowerSchool Registration.”
“[PowerSchool Assessment] is the best product that I have used to create district assessments. Question alignment is spot on to the standards, and reviewing and choosing questions is seamless.”
“The crown jewel is the immediate assistance one can receive through the live-support chat feature. The immediate support has been very useful.”
“PowerSchool has helped to power a technology ecosystem in Dumont. PowerSchool was the stimulus and impetus to use technology, and then became a force multiplier in creating a seamless user experience. As a result of using PowerSchool, online resources became more readily accessible and feasible to use when our infrastructure was dramatically upgraded.”
“With PowerSchool, we found out all the wonderful things you could do to improve efficiencies through technology. For example, teachers had been taking attendance by hand, and then they would send the sheets to secretaries who made manual phone calls to parents when there was an absence.”
“Communication between parents, teachers and students has increased dramatically with PowerSchool. Parent involvement with their child and school is enhanced. Attendance is live, more accurate, and shared with the parents. And in the end, improved communication helps the student and the school system thrive.”
“PowerSchool is a product that keeps getting better and is helping Marion City Schools meet its goals in providing an excellent education. I have been to three PowerSchool University trainings and there is really a high level of genuine enthusiasm in terms of the product by the trainers and engineers we encounter. There is a wonderful commitment and ownership by all of the PowerSchool employees we work with.”
“In terms of the blended learning environments being offered at universities, we were in some sense doing our students a disservice by not providing that rich, collaborative experience while they were in our school before they moved on. We wanted to provide opportunities that help students explore and understand how that environment works. It’s really important to our students because all of our students are college bound.”
“Based on what we had been using, it was just a thousand times better.”
“Some teachers hear that there’s another new LMS and they say ‘Oh no, they’re going to make us change again!’. But teachers who tested it already told them ‘Yes, but this is actually easier to use. You’re going to really like this change.’”
“We’re moving towards integrating with Google Apps for Education which will give teachers real-time access to content, additional online file storage, and further abilities to collaborate in meaningful ways—all without leaving PowerSchool Learning."
