“Our return on investment for partnering with [PowerSchool Registration] has proven to be valuable. Our solution eliminated much of the labor and all of the administrative work that was required to collect and distribute data. The efficiency, quality, and proven execution of [PowerSchool Registration] provide us with an unparalleled solution that our school administrators and families love."

"We put kids first. That’s our mission here. The more we can streamline our processes, the more we can focus on that every day."

“Whether a student is in Georgina, or Woodbridge, or anywhere in this large region, special education resource teachers, administrators, regulated health professionals and eventually our parents can access information and develop programming for students in a timely way."

“Our hope is the continued use of formative data, in combination with state summative assessments, will support teachers and administrators in responding to the needs of students in real time.”

“The thought process has been there. The equity lens has been there. Now we have the data system to let us do what we’ve been wanting to do. This is reinvention. This is something we never would have dreamed of being able to do with the data we used before.”

“We are finding tremendous value in the ways that data dashboards have empowered our educators to quickly tend to the individual needs of their students and engage families in the process.”

“Often, users have an idea of what they’re looking for but don’t have the full requirements. Or they don’t know exactly how to ask,.

“We have had [PowerSchool Special Programs] for 4 years. The product is very user-friendly, and the trainer was absolutely fabulous at explaining everything, answering questions, and helping us walk through some specific questions and needs for our district, specifically how to pull reports. You don’t know what you don’t know. I wanted to know more about what PowerSchool Special Programs could do and what options there were for customization and functionality. I feel like I am a lot more knowledgeable now than before the training.”

“I have worked in education for 12 years in various roles within Special Education. I now work at a non-profit training center that works with public high schools in New Orleans. We decided to use PowerSchool because we had been housing our records with Google Drive and all of our partner schools use PowerSchool, so we want to be compatible. The record storage and reporting features, among the many other uses of PowerSchool [SIS], make us very excited to start using PowerSchool [SIS]. PowerSchool SIS is already making it easier for us to track student data and generate reports. We are excited to use the system for the upcoming and future school years for our enrollment. We occupy a unique space of being a non-profit training center that works with partner high schools, and using the same SIS will make communication and coordination far easier in the future. Our [PowerSchool] implementation team made the process seamlessly easy… Whenever I had questions, the team either had the answers or found them within 24 hours. Whenever scheduling conflicts came up on my end, they were adaptable and made it work.”

“We are a K-12 public charter school with approximately 1,300 students. Prior to utilizing PowerSchool Enrollment, the application, enrollment, and re-enrollment process was still all paper based. This meant a lot of time and [energy] were spent on photocopies and data entry, including errors in trying to decipher handwriting. There were also countless phone and email reminders, as well as multiple paper packets, given to the same families over and over to be completed. We were able to transition from pen and paper to electronic very smoothly. All notifications are now done directly through PowerSchool Enrollment. We no longer print out letters and mail them, and emails are more streamlined, and there is no more mail merge. Tracking of the forms was done all in one place and could be handled by one person more efficiently. All aspects—from implementation to going live—were very structured and detail oriented. Any questions that arose was answered promptly, usually within the same day. The trainer was very thorough and well versed in all aspects of the product. With every module we were shown, the connection was made from what was being done to how it would be accomplished now.”

“I have worked in the education field since 2010. My degree is in education, and I have experience in the kindergarten classroom. However, my passion is in administration, operations, and technology. [Over] the past 11 years, I have worked in enrollment, campus administration, IEP therapy management, and student systems. Ecollect is providing our parents with a solution that allows them to complete required tasks on the go. [It] gives school staff back time in their day with reduced paper filing and provides all levels in the district and schools with the ability to sort responses to answer the questions we have using Forms Reporting. [PowerSchool] provided us with a train-the-trainer type of implementation, so we can now support rolling this out to 90-plus schools. We could not do this without all the support they gave us. They allowed us to create the forms and run through the process while using our implementation hours to train us at a higher level. This, in turn, will save Ecollect support time as schools will reach out to my team first when they have questions.”

“Schoology has redefined how educators teach, how students learn and how learning is demonstrated.”

“PowerSchool Enrollment and Ecollect [brings] our district into the 21st century in terms of enrollment for new students and collecting data for returning students.”

“Although we still have much left to accomplish, Schoology has provided us with a pathway to reach our goals of becoming a blended learning school system in the near future.”

“We don’t have to search for information in several locations anymore. Everything is right there, and they can access it at home or work.”
