“We want to be there to guide [students], to help [students] and make [students] grow.”

“A unified system allows educators to easily jump between applications on the education side. And then on the management side, counselors, administrators, secretaries, and all of the behind-the-scenes staff that are managing data have a single source of data entry so we are ensuring clean, quality data. We’re not enrolling students in five different applications. It’s just one application, and that student data is then being shared with twenty-some other applications. It’s a way of keeping data clean and ensuring data is accurate throughout the system.”

"I can now support students. I can support teachers. I can be on campus. I can work with the case managers."

“I love that SmartFind Express shows me the number of substitute jobs I have for the day, how many have already been filled, and the percentage I have left to fill."

“Talking with teachers, the gradebook integration between Schoology and PowerSchool is greatly appreciated.”

"Now, when we’ve got information in the system, we can see how well schools are doing. I can literally see in the system how much support we’re giving students, types of support, and comments on meeting goals.”

“Two days prior to leaving the building, we asked every teacher to connect with parents using KiNVO. We made a list of parents and guardians that didn’t respond and set up a small team to reach out to any other family members we had on record. When we left the building, only 30 families out of nearly 500 had not responded. During the first week of remote learning, we got that list down to just one student that we were searching for.”

"KiNVO empowers us to know exactly who we need to reach out to and what we need to say to make the biggest impact."

“We print and distribute a weekly homework sheet that goes home with each student every Monday. The students use it for their homework every night so that the parents, teachers, and students are all on the same page with the required work, and we also include important announcements and reminders.”

"The thing that has been most beneficial is the ability to reach parents in a way that we have never been able to before. KiNVO has wholly alleviated anxieties around the unknowns that we’ve had to face during this unprecedented time."

"Now more than ever, we see the value of Naviance [by PowerSchool]."

"We’re in a city where students are typically coming to us very underprepared for high school and therefore underprepared for college."

"If we didn’t have Naviance, I don’t know how our kids would go to college. I don’t know how we would manage our caseloads."

“Naviance [by PowerSchool] has played a critical role in the establishment and success of our CCLR or post-secondary program. I am incredibly grateful to have had Naviance available throughout the pandemic and in our school’s current virtual model.”

"Having Naviance’s established CCLR Curriculum made it easy to integrate these [SEL] topics into the overall academic curriculum, so there was one curriculum with two distinct goals."
