Built into the systems schools already run.

We extend PowerSchool and the tools around it, so families, students and staff get what they need without replacing what already works.

What we build for schools

Every school runs PowerSchool a little differently. These are the areas we most often work in.

  • Family and student portals

    Pages for guardians and students that show what matters to them: schedules, calendars, grades and the week ahead.

    Add details

  • Fees and online payments

    Invoices, balances and card payments inside the portal, reconciled with the school's records.

    Add details

  • Attendance tools

    Faster attendance for teachers: inline comments, bulk actions and filters that match how the school takes the register.

    Add details

  • Directories

    Staff and class directories with photos, searchable by name, department or grade.

    Add details

  • Digital student ID

    A secure, QR-based ID on the student's phone, harder to share than a plastic card.

    Add details

  • Sign-in and account recovery

    Login and password-recovery pages that look like the school and don't generate support tickets.

    Add details

  • Communications

    Email tools that reach the right families at the right time, with templates staff can reuse.

    Add details

  • Reports and transcripts

    Reports built from the school's own data, formatted the way the school needs them.

    Add details

  • Transport and pick-up

    Families request pick-up changes online; staff see them where they already work.

Inside the platform, not around it.

We build custom pages, plugins and reports that work within PowerSchool: they use its data, follow its permissions and look like part of the school's portal.

Staff keep the system they know. Families get something that feels built for them.

Student data stays where it belongs.

We work inside the school's environment and its access rules. Nothing we build copies student or family data somewhere it shouldn't be, and we show our work to schools as architecture, not screenshots.
