PowerSchool University

For those of you who don't know, I'm in Chicago for training. So my trip is not exactly 'for fun'. When I told people that I was going to Chicago for school stuff, the looks were of pity. I quickly told people...this is pleasurable. This is what I enjoy. Besides, I've found that I'm still able to get out and see the sights. We came up a day before and was able to do a lot of sight seeing.

PowerSchool is a student information system that a majority of schools use throughout the United States. In Virginia, something like 80% of schools use the program. The huge company, Pearson, owns PowerSchool. Pearson is known for book printing and testing material. So you know that this company has lots of money and treats their customers well. My first impressions of PowerSchool were everything I had expected. We have been treated like kings and queens and have very knowledgeable staff.

As I said in a post on Facebook, there are all kinds of PS users here. There are those who know a lot, those who don't know anything and those who know enough to do damage....like me!
