"We love our product. In our payroll department we are pretty good about getting our numbers right, and one of the reasons that we do is because of the program we have is so efficient and utilizes every aspect that we need in order for the program to run properly in the payroll department. It seems seamless, the information is all there. When we go to pull a pay edit, everybody is there, every time. We don't have missed folks in the process."

"The implementation process of PowerSchool Unified Talent Applicant Tracking was great. Our implementation specialist was very knowledgeable and went over all the various areas for set up. Once we were on our own, we felt Applicant Tracking was easy to navigate. The best thing is we are no longer searching for paper applications. Any principal, office, or interview committee has access to the information they need. An individual can be set up to receive email notifications when an application has been submitted. We can color code the applicants accordingly, on a personal level, to make our review clearer. References can be automatically sent and resumes, transcripts, reference letters, etc. can be uploaded. The hiring process is great, with approval coming to both the board secretary and me, Director of Human Resources. We both have the information we need for board approval and the applicant’s contact information. I feel it has made our jobs much easier. The program can easily be customized. I highly recommend this product. It’s very flexible and can be customized to our specifications. Once groups are set up with the processes each group needs, it is very helpful to our building principals."

“It becomes a compendium and great place for people to look.”

"Schoology has given us the ability to be consistent on how we do business across all grade levels, K through 12. It’s given us direction for our technology professional development so that we can supply our teachers with direct and meaningful learning opportunities. I love how easy it is for students, parents, and teachers to learn how to use the system. By the second year of adoption, we were able to have 95 percent of our teachers using Schoology every day."

"PowerSchool is an absolute dream in the special education realm. It is user friendly for the provider as well as the data team. The reporting feature is extremely helpful in managing caseloads, data, important dates, and state reporting components. We couldn’t be any happier with the product or the support we receive from the PowerSchool team."

"Unified Insights increases efficiency and helps district and school administrators make decisions and focus on key objectives such as MTSS."

“The chief academic officer of secondary and the EC executive director used the data to work with schools to improve supports for our most at-risk students. That’s now on everyone’s radar across the district about whether we’re appropriately and fully implementing behavior plans or beginning to take important steps to put behavior plans in place for both non-EC and EC students. This all came from this one simple Unified Insights report."

“I would encourage any district, any school site to take a look at [Naviance], There’s life beyond high school.”

“A lot of them think they can’t go to school, or they’re only community college eligible, and when they go [to Naviance] and find out, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s a career I’m interested in, I didn’t realize I could do those things’–that helps spark purpose.”

"We had secretaries in various states of translating hieroglyphics essentially and hoping that the information was correct and in PowerSchool SIS so teachers and staff could use it."

“Everything took people and time, We didn’t have the expertise to do that at a very rapid pace—to give our board and superintendent data that they needed to make almost real-time decisions.”

"The longer you wait, the more difficult it’s going to be."

"And then all of a sudden, the whole grade-level and subject area are starting to use [Schoology Learning] more. Then you have the school site admin say, well, the teachers are using it, we’ll do our staff meetings through it. And then, you have the counselors say, well, the students are now in it, I want to have groups for seniors now."

"Everybody else we talked to told us 'no. PowerSchool was there for us in our time of need."

"The Naviance [by PowerSchool] team has provided Humble ISD with outstanding professional and personalized customer service that will enable our students to reach their full potential."
