Student Information System

The student information system we use at our school to manage student records is PowerSchool.  Teachers have access to one side of the portal, administrators and parents have access through their respective screens.  I use PowerSchool to learn basic information about my students such as any special needs or restrictions, school photo of the student, parent contacts and their grades in their other courses.  I record student attendance and assessments in a grade book through this program.  I really like this program because it allows me to bulk or individually email parents information about their students progress.  In our old system, we used to have better access to a students building wide discipline report, I miss that information as it sometimes helped me work with a student to find solutions (knowing what had already been tried).
