“They’re responsible for taking pictures of vehicles using ThingLink and AudioBoom. ThingLink is picture-based. AudioBoom is audio files. We do target language through AudioBoom. They take that and embed it all through [PowerSchool] in WikiProjects. They work with their group mates—you’re responsible for these aspects, you’re responsible for those aspects, and just put it all through [PowerSchool Learning].”
“Since [PowerSchool Registration] was implemented, we’ve estimated that it saves us an average of $14,000 a year in postage alone.”
“Kam has been an absolute lifesaver for us! We have some pretty complicated scoring adapters and calculations in our plans, and Kam is so knowledgeable about what our goals are as far as scoring. He didn’t have to, but he has reached out to me a few times personally to ensure that he understood our scoring mechanism and was implementing properly.”
“We started out with a vision of what we wanted. We had an understanding that our solution needed to be accessible to staff and families across devices, linked to our student information system, electronic, streamlined, and efficient."
“We once used pieces of paper that traveled to multiple people in the board, potentially getting lost and ultimately having a lack of ownership. But now have a one-stop data location with better accountability and better service for our students. Everyone knows the next step throughout any process. PowerSchool Special Education has clarified and streamlined our processes and all of our staff, including our Regulated Healthcare Professionals, are confident with the security of the application and knowing that processes are streamlined."
“The solution is truly an effective tool. It has really changed the way we are able to access information about students. There’s a powerful reporting functionality which lets me see student information in my school at a click of a button. I can see the composition of my special education population. I have access to safety plans, IEPs, and in-school team meetings and records. I can be up-to-date with information quickly and easily."
“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."
“The biggest difference between the vendors we looked at was that PowerSchool Special Education had solutions already in place for what we needed. Other vendors said they could build us something, but didn’t have the solution already in place."
“We had a vision of what we wanted in our new system and we knew that if we built it, it would happen. But it was just so amazing to actually watch it happen. Now we are supporting special education in York Region in a safe, secure and accessible way."
“This tool has helped me tremendously with my instruction as a teacher. It allows me to pinpoint exact skills that have not been mastered based on the Standards of Learning (SOLs). It allows me to look at trends across data not only with my class but as well as across the grade level. PowerSchool Assessment also allows me to ask appropriate higher-level thinking questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. It also shows students a variety of question formats such as multiple-choice questions, drag and drop, and fill in the blank. This allows students to show mastery learning in all areas of their learning.”
“Our return on investment for partnering with [PowerSchool Registration] has proven to be valuable.

The efficiency, quality, and proven execution of [PowerSchool Registration] provide us with an unparalleled solution that our school administrators and families love."
“Everything with [PowerSchool Registration] has been remarkably easy, and everything they do and recommend has made logical sense. At the end of the day, our investment in [PowerSchool Registration] has really been an investment in Uplift Education’s families. And our return on that investment has been nothing short of spectacular.”
“My colleagues had worked with [PowerSchool] before, and spoke highly of the company and its project management and consultative approach. I was impressed from the start; I first sat down with [PowerSchool] on January 22nd and by February 25th, we had launched the online application for our Pre-K lottery and were deep into constructing the system.”
“Our district was the very first California public school district to contract with the PowerSchool Student Information System, and we have never looked back. PowerSchool is the best student information system out there.”
“PowerSchool and PowerTeacher are good tools for parents to have easy access to their child’s grades and missing work. Parents are able to get many questions regarding grades answered through checking PowerSchool, which saves us time in terms of parent communication. It benefits students by giving them ownership over keeping track of their grades and work turned in.”
