PowerScheduler, a powerful master schedule builder, lets you easily produce and optimize master schedules. You can model complex schedules for upcoming terms and plan for multiple scenarios in the future. Then simply choose the most appropriate schedule when information is available. Say goodbye to laborious, hand-built schedules that have to be retooled due to last minute contingencies. Students also benefit from being able to access schedules online and schedule appointments with guidance counselors.

Fully integrated core functionality

PowerSchool provides a single integrated solution with a consistent interface and common database. Because all components share a single data repository, you only need to enter information once and it becomes immediately available to everyone with appropriate permissions and security access. PowerSchool's integrated solution enables you to access current and historical data without leaving the system or impacting other users. Student information for the current year and prior years can easily be made available to all schools across the district so that mobile student populations are not lost. Also, a single student can be tracked over time even as they move from school to school without the need for manually transferring data between schools.

Security protocols protect student data and user privacy

PowerSchool supports 128-bit SSL encryption making it more secure than applications that have been retrofitted for the web. You can easily provide access to student records based on IDs and passwords.
