Computer-Based Learning

PowerSchool is an innovative Web-based tool that provides timely data that's easy to find and analyze, making vital information accessible to all stakeholders-over the Internet and in a secure environment. Administrators get the most accurate information to make more effective decisions. Teachers gain timesaving administrative tools, parents gain immediate access to their children's grades, and students can track their own progress. Comprehensive PowerSchool features make it possible to produce schedules and reports in minutes, and to generate attendance records, grade checks, report cards, transcripts, and form letters in just a few clicks. And easily customizable fields, screens, and reports streamline data management activities.

PowerSchool integrates standard components, such as the grade book and master schedule builder, into a single solution with a consistent user interface. With all components sharing a common database, information is immediately available to everyone with the appropriate security access. Online, context-specific help and clear navigation enable rapid data location. And because PowerSchool is platform independent, it can be accessed from any Windows or Mac computer with a Web browser and it supports Windows and Mac server platforms.

Built from the ground up using standard Internet technologies, PowerSchool delivers most of its features through a standard Web browser without requiring browser plug-ins. Installation occurs remotely over the Internet, implementation is self-guided, and software updates are installed automatically on your server, reducing maintenance and IT costs. With the ability to centrally locate your server at the district office, you don't need to buy a server for every school.
