“Schoology is a communication conduit for everybody at Palatine High School. That’s landing place number one. You go to a theme park and if you get separated from the kids, you designate a place where everyone meets up. So for us during the COVID-19 crisis, Schoology is like where the Ferris Wheel is—that’s where everyone meets up, that’s where everyone gets their stuff.”

"PowerSchool makes my life so much easier! The customization abilities are endless and it is so easy to learn and use. I am thankful that we chose to implement it in our District and love to share with others.”

"Prior to implementing PowerSchool, our network of schools used a combination of different solutions — including other products and home-grown databases — which each housed only a small piece of student information. While we adopted PowerSchool SIS to streamline our student information and data collection, this decision has helped us explore ways to leverage technology more effectively throughout our network."

“We love PowerSchool and can’t fathom using any other SIS [student information system]. It has created ways of tracking and reporting on student data that we never thought possible.”

“What I saw and heard that day really excited me, and I left knowing that Manhattan Beach would also benefit from PowerSchool Registration.”

“Power School was the winner by far for ease of use, functionality, what we wanted out of a student information system.”

“The first thing that I fell in love with was the emails that were generated weekly. I would get emails summarizing what my student’s grades were. I also love that I could go in on my time and look at my children’s grades. And if I have a question, I know that I can send an email to my son’s teachers really quickly.”

“At the time we thought, if we’re going to go paperless, let’s completely eradicate it so, we put everything online.”

“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.”

“It saves a ton of time. And it’s a huge cost savings as far as the employee and the work time that they put in within a day. It has saved a ton on paper and on ink costs.”

“Integrations within PowerSchool products, as well as third-party integrations, have been great. And I definitely feel that our data is safer within our connected, digital workflows, especially in enrollment. We used to have important forms sitting in the main office in a bin. But now we have the simplicity and security of parents typing that information into a safe form, and it’s protected from any tampering.”

“It’s so easy to give someone a spreadsheet — it’s another thing when they have something they can start with, and then those intuitive leaps can come into play by combining data with teacher intuition.”

“The data is also used in the development of goals and targets for school improvement plans. We can look at trends at the school level and identify areas where our Positive Behavior Support program can have an impact. We can also compare district-level data to school-level data to see which interventions are working and which aren’t.”

“PowerSchool Unified Talent Perform is allowing us to have more accountability on a systematic level, so we can ensure that our on-the-ground managers are giving effective and meaningful feedback to our teachers."

“When hiring managers see somebody, they sometimes think the person is a good fit without having any idea what skill set they bring to the table. But with Candidate Assessment, we’re using a research-based assessment to evaluate our candidates—and that removes any subjective mindset.”
