PowerSchool for Parents iPod app

Now Available!

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.

Facebook and Twitter integration, 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.
