MyPowerHub empowers parents with a ‘single pane
of glass’ for all student information in a unified, multilingual,
and user-friendly platform for the 2024-2025 school year
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education, announced today the launch of
MyPowerHub. This next-generation communications platform
consolidates all the essential tools for parents to facilitate
their child's educational progress through a single, seamless
interface. This innovative solution simplifies the user experience
for parents and students and offers significant cost-saving
opportunities for school districts by eliminating the need for
multiple other software programs. In time for the 2024-2025 school
year, parents will have one place for information like their
student’s grades, attendance, assignments, schedules, broadcast
communications, classroom direct messaging, combined integrated
calendars, and other systems’ links.
Starting today, MyPowerHub is available for PowerSchool Student
Information System (SIS) customers worldwide with multimodal
accessibility and features like messaging, calendars, grades,
schedules, and more. In October, MyPowerHub will include expanded
capabilities such as support for 120 languages, messaging
enhancements, proactive notifications, and PowerSchool’s
AI-Assistant, PowerBuddy.™ It will also be available to customers,
regardless of the Student Information System (SIS) they use,
ensuring that schools across the globe can benefit from its
innovative features and unified platform.
“We are thrilled to introduce MyPowerHub, which embodies our
commitment to enriching the experience for all stakeholders
involved in a student’s educational journey,” said Shivani Stumpf,
Chief Product and Innovation Officer at PowerSchool. “By providing
this comprehensive view – a single pane of glass – we are
simplifying communication and access to vital information, making
it easier for students, parents, and educators to stay connected
and informed. This proactive approach significantly enhances
parental engagement and nurtures a vibrant, collaborative
partnership between home and school, setting a new standard in
educational transparency, engagement, and support.”
Introducing MyPowerHub: A Single Pane of Glass
Survey data indicates 70% of parents navigate between two to six
systems to access the information they need about their child’s
learning. This often involves using multiple platforms and logins,
leading to frustration and a sense of being overwhelmed. MyPowerHub
offers a consolidated experience by seamlessly integrating parent
workflows from PowerSchool solutions into a single platform.
MyPowerHub sets itself apart by seamlessly integrating newsfeeds,
calendars, directories, and messaging with numerous essential
district platforms, creating a true single pane of glass experience
for parents and students.
Educators beta testing MyPowerHub showed high satisfaction with
MyPowerHub, with 100% finding it easy to navigate on a mobile
device.* Other high ratings include creating calendar events,
sending emails from the directory, and searching newsfeeds. Users
also rated the translation of newsfeed posts and calendar events at
a perfect score of 5.0, highlighting the platform’s user-friendly
design and functionality.
“Teachers and administrators can post important information to
students and parents, making PowerSchool a 'one stop shop' for all
information,” said Brian Getz, Computer/Instructional Technology
Coordinator at West Mifflin Area School District in Pennsylvania.
“MyPowerHub will be incredibly helpful for parents in their
districts, ensuring they have easy access to crucial updates and
resources to support their children's education.”
PowerSchool’s safe and secure AI assistant, PowerBuddy for
Engagement, will be also available within MyPowerHub, enabling
parents to engage with their child’s educational journey through
natural language questions and responses.
