School leaders plan to use PowerSchool’s
student information system and online enrollment solutions to
provide flexible, integrated solutions wherever learning takes
place.
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC) announced today GOAL High School,
Colorado’s premiere blended-online learning school, has selected
several of PowerSchool’s unified solutions including PowerSchool’s
market-leading student information system, PowerSchool SIS, and
PowerSchool Enrollment to manage daily operations from anywhere,
protect student data, enroll students, and manage waitlists and
lotteries to ensure GOAL's innovative approach to statewide online
education can equitably serve a growing number of students, parents
and educators.
GOAL is adding the solutions to its existing PowerSchool
learning management system, Unified ClassroomTM Schoology Learning,
to help save teachers and staff time, while ensuring a uniform
learning experience for all students. With the addition of
PowerSchool SIS, GOAL can smartly manage student data and simplify
the thousands of daily tasks performed by district personnel.
Bringing on PowerSchool Enrollment allows GOAL the ability to cut
costs and save time with paperless enrollment through a secure
online process, giving parents the convenience and flexibility to
enroll their students wherever they are, and supporting school
admissions, lottery, and school choice.
“A key element we focus on is digital equity for every student,
no matter where they are. We knew that it was time to upgrade our
SIS to ensure that everyone’s learning and teaching experience
across the state was exactly the same, and PowerSchool provided us
with that opportunity. In our model, GOAL must rely on the most
innovative edtech solutions we can find, and PowerSchool provides
us the rocket we need to power our students’ success,” said Jamie
Trujillo, GOAL High School Chief Information Officer.
GOAL has been using an online model for more than 13 years and
was one of the state’s first blended learning focused schools. The
statewide charter, headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado, serves more
than 5,000 students, with as much as 90% learning from home.
“One of the most compelling reasons we chose PowerSchool’s suite
of integrated solutions is the feedback received from nearly 500
employees after we asked them what was needed to better our
school,” said Dr. Constance Jones, GOAL High School Chief Executive
Officer. “The overwhelming response was a more user-friendly SIS
solution that was simpler to navigate for staff and students. After
thoroughly reviewing the different options available, PowerSchool
rose to the top as the most comprehensive, robust and user-friendly
solution.”
“We're proud to work with innovative partners like GOAL and
share their vision to ensure every student has the best
opportunities in life and equal opportunity to learn no matter
where students and educators are,” said Hardeep Gulati, PowerSchool
CEO. “Like many school districts, GOAL wants a truly integrated
system of solutions to help foster a unified experience for
administrators, educators and parents alike, and we are excited to
provide the tools needed to achieve that experience.”
