  Valued by parentsCommunication between schools and parents is key to student achievementIn March 2006, PowerSchool commissioned an online survey of more than 1550 parents with at least one child in grades K-12. The survey was conducted to determine the frequency and manner of communication parents currently have with their child's school. It also gauged parents' attitudes on how communication could be improved and the subsequent impact that communication has on overall student achievement. The survey results showed that almost all parents (99 percent) want more frequent communication between schools and parents. Web-based parent portalPowerSchool was the first web-based student information system to recognize the importance of connecting the home with the school. PowerSchool's external interface gives parents and students access to real-time information-like grades and attendance information-and provides a secure way to communicate with teachers from home. Parents want to be connectedAccording to recent survey results, 94 percent of parents want to use the web to get more involved in their children's progress and 85 percent want more frequent progress updates.
