“Our technology plan called for a one-stop-shop, and that was part of our decision to go with PowerSchool.”

“PowerSchool is providing all of the necessary screens and tools, and we’re working on implementing them. The state regulatory group has been very responsive.”

"Our students have insanely busy parents. Many of them are already out the door to work before their kids wake up in the morning. Students are getting themselves ready, to the bus and to school without seeing their parents. This is why we make sure that all staff have [PowerSchool] Birthday Alerts; so no matter what kind of a morning a kid has, when they show up to school, staff are ready and waiting to wish them a happy birthday. You’d be surprised how big of an impact this has on the quality of a student’s day, and happy students are better learners."

"If any of our employees want to change their forms, such as tax forms, direct deposit, benefits, and more, no one has to come down to us. All they have to do is log in to Employee Records and complete the documents they need to complete, and then we can process from home on our end."

"The ability to drill down from school–wide data to individual student data is a powerful support for instruction and school improvement."

"We have a student whose family speaks Vietnamese, but we don’t have anyone on staff who speaks Vietnamese. Unified Home Communication makes it possible for us to regularly communicate with them."

"I love the PowerTeacher Pro gradebook. Teachers easily learn how to do grades and view student progress."

"PowerTeacherPro provides an excellent and powerful gradebook which we use to record, analyze, and report on student performance."

"Ecollect Forms enabled us to make PowerSchool the central data source at Chester County Intermediate Unit. Custom forms simplify our processes and data collection throughout the year by streamlining how data is collected and what data is being asked for. With Ecollect Forms, we can meet the needs of all stakeholders and provide excellent customer service in a timely manner."

"We implemented KiNVO in 2016, and if you look at our data, that’s exactly when you see an increase in our attendance and graduation rates, decrease in chronic absenteeism, and an increase in state exam scores."

“Family Engagement is important because it helps parents and guardians keep a stronger pulse on how their child is doing in school.”

“Everyone knows the strong connection between attendance and student performance.”

"The PowerSchool ecosystem audit was an amazing opportunity for our school district. The PowerSchool team took the time to meet with all stakeholders, listen to the various concerns, and assemble a comprehensive plan which met the needs of our district. Without a doubt, we would not have been able to move forward with our curriculum and assessment plan without PowerSchool’s assistance."

"Once the charter school decided to purchase and implement the Unified Classroom, they were able to gain instant insight into student performance to better gauge their progress, which enabled them to have valuable and meaningful conversations with parents about their children’s education. Additionally, having a single sign-on environment that managed all class data and grades in one area lessened the administrative load on teachers, allowing them to focus on what they love: teaching. In using PowerSchool Unified Classroom™, we have improved both communication and collaboration in our school community to further help us reach our goal of empowering students to be successful in life."

"I see huge improvements since moving to Unified Classroom. I am getting feedback that student engagement has improved. Also, the parents are more engaged through using the parent portal. They have more access to see what’s going on in the classroom—things they couldn’t see before. I recently spoke with a parent of a highly involved fourth grader. He says using PowerSchool’s organizational tools has made a difference for his busy child to stay on top of schoolwork. He is learning how organizational tools can help him to be successful because of PowerSchool. His dad said, ‘I can’t believe the transformation I’ve seen in my son since we went to Unified Classroom.’ The teachers who are fully utilizing [Unified] Classroom and class pages are the ones seeing the most success. Overall, everyone is more engaged than they were last year due to Unified Classroom. In fact, parent engagement has doubled based on the number using the parent portal."
