How are PowerGrade and PowerSchool Related?
It is important to understand that PowerGrade and PowerSchool are not the same
application. Teachers use PowerGrade to record grades and take attendance. The
data in PowerGrade is automatically sent to the PowerSchool server whenever
a teacher saves the information. The teacher does not need to do anything else
for the data to store on that server.
PowerSchool is a server that manages the data entered by school administrators
and teachers. Think of it as a parent to PowerGrade. PowerSchool receives the
information from PowerGrade and stores it for daily administration and management.
Parents can log in to PowerSchool to check their child's progress.
PowerSchool sends class rosters to teachers through PowerGrade at
the beginning of each term and notifies them when a student is added
to a class. Teachers that use PowerGrade may not need to use the
PowerSchool server, except to automatically transfer information.
