Powerschool Implementation, Detroit Area Charter School

Problem
The administration of a new charter school wanted to implement a school information system to track student information, produce progress reports and report cards, and manage administrative and government reporting.

Solution
Macro Connect worked with the school to implement PowerSchool to manage many core functions, including:

• Student attendance
• Classroom grades
• Progress reports and report cards
• Class schedules
• Reporting for the State of Michigan and No Child Left Behind

Benefits

• A centralized, web-based database makes State and No Child Left Behind reporting easier than ever using templates that automatically populate forms
• Online grade books track student assignments and attendance
• The system can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection via a web interface
• Administration and counselors have instant access to current student grade information and reporting
• Progress reports, report cards, and transcripts can easily be printed from the information stored in PowerSchool

PowerSchool Is a Web-Based School Information System You Can Trust
Alternate application: PowerSchool can be implemented in a variety of educational settings and can be scaled to manage single schools or entire districts. It frees up staff time currently spent compiling paper records for data entry. Due to the web-based interface, Macro Connect can support many PowerSchool functions remotely.
