SchoolsBuddy joins the PowerSchool Group ISV Partner Program to Streamline After-School Activities Management, Parent Teacher Bookings, School Sign Ups and Parent Communications
SchoolsBuddy offers direct integration with PowerSchool data, providing personalised views for parents and students
West Sussex, UK – 5th April 2019 – SchoolsBuddy, a leading school activity management and parent teacher conference bookings system, and PowerSchool, a leading provider of K-12 education technology solutions, are joining forces through an independent software vendor (ISV) partnership agreement to provide a seamless link between PowerSchool data and SchoolsBuddy’s advanced school software solution.
The partnership enables PowerSchool schools to digitally manage their after-school activities and other types of sign-ups including field trips, sporting events and online parent consent. The partnership will also benefit schools looking to streamline and manage parent teacher conference bookings. Using PowerSchool Data, SchoolsBuddy can pre-filter based on grade, homeroom or subject class, so users only see relevant information and appointments available to them.
Gary Hector, Co-Founder of SchoolsBuddy said, “We are excited about our new partnership with PowerSchool, which will give us the opportunity to grow our business further while providing U.S. and international schools with a new solution to improve and digitize manual or out dated systems, as well as provide a more dynamic and streamlined approach to traditionally time-consuming tasks.”
SchoolsBuddy’s web and mobile solution is already in use across 35 countries, not only saving schools time and making processes more efficient, but also improving the experience of parents who can use the system on the web or via the mobile apps. The collaboration with PowerSchool and the direct integration makes the use of SchoolsBuddy even more powerful by providing a holistic approach which benefits school districts and international schools and groups by enabling data to be tracked and reported, such as participation in after-school activities or attendance at parent teacher conferences.
We are excited to welcome Schoolsbuddy to the ISV Partner community,” said Alan Taylor, SVP, Corporate Development for PowerSchool. ”Schoolsbuddy offers the essential tools for teachers and parents to efficiently manage extra-curricular activities, parent-teacher meetings and classroom communication. We look forward to working with Schoolsbuddy to support K12 schools around the world.”
