"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.”

"When teachers create exercises for children, the process typically takes around an hour. However, utilizing PowerBuddy can reduce this time to approximately five minutes."

"I was hesitant at first about using AI tools like ChatGPT in education, But when I saw PowerBuddy's teacher controls and integration within Schoology, I felt much more comfortable bringing AI into our schools.”

"During class, if a student doesn't understand the lesson, they can ask PowerBuddy later at home, allowing them to learn at their own pace. PowerBuddy provides students with continuous support even when a teacher is not near."

"When it comes to modernization from that business side, it is important because it frees up resources—whether that’s human capital or actual dollars and cents that you can put back into the educational enterprise."

“End users have become accustomed to custom solutions, and expectations are high.”

"I’ve really enjoyed how customizable the system is and how much we can adapt it to our changing needs.”

"Schoology Learning has been, since its implementation, where students and teachers closely keep in touch."

"Attendance is extremely important and directly affects student achievement. Students learn best when they are in school. Home and school have to work together to ensure that students are there. It is incumbent on the school to report promptly when a student isn’t at school."

"It has significantly improved our overall communications with families."

"All of the products that we’ve been able to utilize through PowerSchool have saved us time and given us new information that helps us make better decisions for our staff, students, and families."

"I like the interface. It’s clean, incredibly straightforward. You look at it and know what to do."

"We really thought about what we wanted to tackle and really have kids and every stakeholder working on it. We wanted a structured response to behavior, both positively and in re-teaching those behaviors and if any consequences or restorative justice needed to happen."
