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

"With Naviance Course Planner, we anticipate our A-G completion rates will improve because students are much more aware of what those requirements are and what they need to do to complete them."

"SchoolSpring Job Board has helped us to recruit across the country! With its extensive reach and user-friendly interface, we’ve been able to connect with a wider pool of qualified candidates effortlessly. The platform’s search tools have helped us pinpoint educators who truly match our criteria, ensuring successful and meaningful hires every time."

“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.”

“PowerSchool is the core of most of our school information needs and is very important to us. It saves us time, gives us flexibility, and makes a positive impact on the communication between parents, students, and teachers as grade and attendance information is available immediately and continually."

“I love PowerSchool. We use the PowerSchool SIS for everything, especially as an informative tool. Any information about a student, including academically, socially, health, behavior, and so on, is in PowerSchool and available immediately. It’s very helpful, and as an example, when a student gets into high school, we can look back and see comprehensively how they did in middle school, and what factors may have affected their performance.”

“With technology integration, we have to make sure that whatever tools we use are good for students’ learning, and they also have to be easy to use so teachers can seamlessly integrate them into their instruction. Different, disparate systems impacted the students’ experience and the parent experience when the child got home. We started having conversations about how we could unify this experience. How do we decide on one platform, one LMS which would provide one-stop shopping for teachers, student and parents, so that we could all speak the same language? We wanted to make sure we could use the technology easily to make sure the kids’ experience was heightened.”

“The paper-based registration process was very time-consuming for both our families and managerial staff. The distribution and collection of a 20-page form per student meant that a family new to our district with three students would be going through 60 sheets of paper. Partnering with PowerSchool Registration modernizes our registration system and provides everyone with a higher level of efficiency."

“The polishing component is so important for ensuring entries are consistent when entered into our databases. Something as simple as entering ‘St.’ instead of ‘Street’ can alter the performance of a database if it’s not caught and corrected. The polishing component takes care of this for us."

“I invited multiple vendors and told them we need to get to a place where we were logging into just one system. For all of our stakeholders, we needed single sign-on in one location. We got to that place, and now our users have one log in through one system – PowerSchool.”

“Before using PowerSchool Analytics, our division really didn’t have a warehouse to store student information. You could go to a teacher and ask them about a specific child, however, they weren’t able to give you that longitudinal perspective of how that child did last year, or how that child did with a previous teacher. They could only tell you what that child was doing TODAY or maybe yesterday. And they were making decisions based on gut instincts.”

“At ACS, we try to present ourselves as being very focused on technology. I don’t think that message would be very strong if we had paper applications. Our [PowerSchool Registration] online application has been important to demonstrate to families that what we value is not just technology in the classroom, but at the school as a whole.”

“Parents love [PowerSchool Registration], the secretaries love it, and administration loves it. From a school stand point, we like the fact that the parents are the ones inputting their answers and it goes directly into our system. We really love that we don’t have to re-key information, decipher someone’s handwriting, or accidentally transpose a number or email. We’ve been very pleased with all aspects of our solution.”

“All of our parents—all 8,300 of them—access [PowerSchool Registration] every year. Parents are delighted with [it]. We’ve saved a huge amount of hours in manual labor, but I think what is more important is the data accuracy over the last two years has really increased. We now trust the data that’s in our system.”

“We also collect information that does not go into Aeries, such as Student Acceptable Use Policy and Liability Releases. This information also needed to be easily accessible, and we could not have achieved that without [PowerSchool Registration].”
