PowerSchool Apps

Several days ago Pearson announced two apps for PowerSchool: PowerSchool for Parents and PowerSchool for Students.

I tested these out on my iPhone and I’m impressed! I tweaked with the official Pearson announcement email and came up with a quick write-up for my district’s website announcing these apps (in case you want to tweak the announcement for your district):

Two new apps are now available in the Apple iTunes App Store: PowerSchool for Parents and PowerSchool for Students.

These new apps will allow parents and students to access all the same information they would normally access from a browser, but with the ease and convenience of an app installed on their Apple mobile device. Automatic login, a family overview, simplified “one-thumb” browsing, and other features make accessing PowerSchool on the go faster and easier than ever before. The apps are FREE and available for download from the iTunes store. Version 1.0 of the apps will be supported on any Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad running iOS version 4.0 or higher.

You should be able to enter XXXXX as the Zip Code when searching for our school district from within the app. If you can not locate the district via Search, then you can manually enter the Server Address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Port Number 80, and SSL off.
