“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."

“It’s taken away the excuses because it’s so easy to find materials, especially for Special Ed students, because it’s so much easier for them to use and find everything. It’s made it harder for students to say, ‘I couldn’t find this. I didn’t have that. I didn’t know that was due.’”

“If they’re visual learners, you can have pictures; if they’re auditory learners, there are hearing options. There are different options, even in the assessment feature. They have choices even for matching—they can do drag and drop if they’re more tactile or they can just click a drop down. Whatever is better for them. Students can adapt it to their own preferences.”

“With PARCC and Common Core, they talk about interactive essays where you have pictures and multimedia. As [students] started working on their interactive essays, it seemed less like a Word doc and more like a web page. So we did individual WikiProjects and they each had their own space to put their pictures and writing.”

“They’re responsible for taking pictures of vehicles using ThingLink and AudioBoom. ThingLink is picture-based. AudioBoom is audio files. We do target language through AudioBoom. They take that and embed it all through [PowerSchool] in WikiProjects. They work with their group mates—you’re responsible for these aspects, you’re responsible for those aspects, and just put it all through [PowerSchool Learning].”

“A lot of times for a foreign language, the homework will be that they have to use a certain verb tense. I will tell them to keep doing a practice quiz until they get 100. I can then track how many times it takes them, and then depending on how much they practice at home, you can see their performance improve.”

“We’re pleased with the functionality. One of the aspects we like is that teachers are able to do attendance in the classroom on mobile devices in real time and parents are able to see that attendance immediately.”

“This is an all-in-one product that provides information at a timely, immediate moment for parents, students, teachers, as well as administrators to really analyze students who are at risk."

“Our district has technology in use for what it can do, not for what it is. For us that’s providing a personalized learning path for our students. Regardless of what your grade level is or what your passion might be in terms of learning, we believe that we can provide that using technology. And part of that learning process is providing timely feedback in terms of assessments, grades, and attendance as we go forward. PowerSchool helps give us that main feedback system. It gives us a quick and easy way for parents to see where students are and also provides a transparent way for everyone to collaborate in that student’s education.”

“I love how easy it is to use; it truly is. PowerSchool is just straightforward and pretty much unbeatable."

“PowerSchool is incredibly user friendly. The front user face is so easy to find what you need. Whether you’re looking at reports, or looking at student data, everything is right there.”

“It’s important to have the ability to go back and track the process of an individual student, whether it’s during the application stage or post-registration. PowerSchool Registration provides us with a foolproof method. Everything is documented so that we remain transparent at all times."

“Teachers can also save many hours because they no longer have to calculate their standards by hand. The gradebook does many of their calculations that took hours in the past."
