“PowerSchool works well in Ontario. The company has demonstrated the ability to invest and enhance the product to the level a current SIS needs to be in this day and age. The enhancements to the system are much appreciated. Keep up the great work!”

“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.”

“I’ve interacted with PowerSchool SIS for a long time, and I’ve always liked it because it’s very customizable and flexible.”

"Having Naviance’s established College, Career, and Life Readiness Curriculum made it easy to integrate these topics into the overall academic curriculum, so there was one curriculum with two distinct goals."

"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."

"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."
