The addition of SchoolMessenger to PowerSchool
provides families and schools with the most comprehensive and
consolidated platform to support better student outcomes
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, announced today that
it has completed the acquisition of SchoolMessenger, a leading
provider of K-12 communication solutions in North America.
PowerSchool’s acquisition of SchoolMessenger represents
PowerSchool’s commitment to empower educators, administrators, and
families to ensure personalized education for every student
journey. The acquisition supports the expansion of My PowerSchool,
designed to be the most comprehensive education collaboration
platform on the market. By adding SchoolMessenger’s trusted
communication platform to My PowerSchool educators are better
equipped to increase overall family engagement and support student
success.
“Through our support of over 50 million students globally, we
observe firsthand how critical communication with parents,
families, and caretakers is in a child’s education,” said Hardeep
Gulati, CEO of PowerSchool. “We believe integrating SchoolMessenger
into My PowerSchool and PowerSchool’s portfolio will further
demonstrate our commitment to providing a connected, centralized
experience for educators, students, and families to improve student
outcomes.
According to the National Education Association, family
engagement increases student attendance and outcomes. Furthermore,
Pew Research Center reports that 30% of schools still do not have
an electronic notification system for schoolwide emergencies. The
addition of SchoolMessenger’s capabilities to PowerSchool ensures
centralized access to reliable mass communication and emergency
messaging, alongside two-way communication functionality. This,
coupled with My PowerSchool’s consolidated view of student grades,
schedules, and attendance, provides a single experience to track
their learning progress and receive relevant communication.
Educators also benefit from the increased ability to communicate
with families in support of personalized learning.
Current and future PowerSchool customers will benefit from
continued investment in the SchoolMessenger platform and even
greater integrated communication thanks to an increased ability for
development teams to partner more closely. "We are excited for the
partnership between SchoolMessenger and PowerSchool. The seamless
transition of data flow for PowerSchool Boards is exciting and we
are looking forward to what other great things this partnership
will bring with the products," said Cindy Pentland, Executive
Manager of Decision Support (Student Management / SIS / Attendance)
at London District Catholic School Board in Ontario, Canada.
SchoolMessenger customers and partners will also benefit from
increased investment in and development of their existing
solutions, continued access to existing integrations between
SchoolMessenger and products not owned by PowerSchool, and deeper
integration with PowerSchool’s award-winning solutions.
SchoolMessenger provides over 63,000 schools with the tools
needed to reach every parent or guardian across voice, text, email,
and social media messaging, and provides automatic translations for
over 100 languages. The tested and proven platform effectively
supports emergency alerts, paperless permission forms and waivers,
and integrates with over 130 established systems, all through a
simple, easy to use interface. Designed to work together from the
start, SchoolMessenger’s communication systems save administrators
and educators time, and provide more immediate, thorough engagement
with parents and students.
