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.
