“Accuracy in accounting for people’s true on-the-clock time with the district is critical when you’re trying to determine if you have to enroll that person or not."

"We have a huge number of apps, systems, and processes. And it’s not only classroom communications going out. It’s also attendance, grades, and behavior. It would be great to have a single spot for this that also includes alignment with things like transportation."

“[PowerSchool] is easy to use and the web application is very intuitive. We are able to easily access information and provide reports on a variety of issues. The reporting would have been a massive undertaking in the old HR system we were using."

"Now that we've gone online, either through employee expense or through the purchasing card, the secretary is not involved in that piece at all. So now we've liberated 20 to 40 hours for a secretary to help support the school in different ways. By just looking at automating a couple of processes that we've been able to do through Atrieve, we're reducing the burden on various positions."

“There were a lot of inconsistencies in response to behavior infractions across our five campuses. We didn’t have a network-wide system to capture and analyze social emotional and academic data. These inconsistencies led to our families and students having different experiences across our network.”

"We want all students to have an opportunity to engage with planning for their futures. This year has been challenging for students, but we are excited to see the impact the Highline Challenge will have on our students’ college planning."

"The more people hear about it (college- and career-focused updates), the more they’re reminded, ‘Yes this is important.’ We’re trying to get kids ready socially, emotionally, academically."

"Our staff and administration have strong dedication and high standards with a big push on the whole child."

"More and more kids were requesting transcripts for various things and it was getting overwhelming for our registrar at the time. We needed a system to be kind of a clearing house for that."

"Naviance [by PowerSchool] has allowed us to conduct detailed monitoring to 1) See if students are on track to a concrete postsecondary plan, 2) Identify at-risk students, and 3) Flag specific concerns and determine outreach."

"It's instrumental in gaining access to college and being successful in college."

"The four-week CCLR program helped many students see there are options for them. If they want to go to college, there are financial aid options to make that possible. To see their minds expanded on the possibilities that exist for them was inspiring."

"Errors in payroll were common and required repeated checks, audits, and rework."

"Beyond the software, we wanted to leverage best-in-class knowledge and experience in K-12."

"Having accurate data means I can effectively project revenue and expenses for the next few years. Budgeting is actually pretty simple. [Instead,] I can focus on projections and working on a few scenarios to improve salaries and benefits for staff."
