MyPowerHub: Communication and Engagement for Every Journey

An Interactive Introduction to MyPowerHub

MyPowerHub is a powerful tool for connecting schools, families, and students. A single login provides a simple experience for viewing student data on progress and growth. In a consolidated and clean platform, MyPowerHub users have centralized access to school systems, reports, and student progress in just a few clicks.   

Which journey would you like to take through MyPowerHub?  

• Walk through a teacher’s day   
• Follow the daily duties of an administrator  
• Take a student’s journey  
• Hike through a busy parent/caregiver’s week 
• Travel with a district communications leader 

Welcome to another busy day at school. Today, you are giving an in-class group assignment, introducing students to a few excerpts from Walden.   

All criteria are weighted equally, and most students receive an A or B on the assignment. Let’s look at how you enter the grades from your first two periods in PowerSchool PowerTeacher Pro.   

As you log in, you trust that the information you post—like grades, comments, standards, and attendance—is clearly visible to you in one location. And you know that parents and students can see it all clearly as well, simply by logging into their MyPowerHub experience.   

As principal, one of your priorities is looking after student and teacher success. Plus, you take on the important reporting role for key state stakeholders.  

You have just logged into PowerSchool SIS to review student grades when suddenly your cell phone chimes with a weather alert. It looks like there’s a possible snowstorm tonight that will last into the afternoon tomorrow. Fortunately, you feel prepared with a secure communication solution that is easy to enact.   

You click into broadcast communications and pre-load an emergency weather closure message in case you need it. If the storm comes, you know that your message will go right to the families’ MyPowerHub portal.    

It’s a relief to know that this broadcast can also go out to parents, if needed, via email, phone alerts, phone calls, and text. Between these options and MyPowerHub, your school community is even more engaged and aware.   

As a student logging into MyPowerHub, you know you will be able to access all of your information in one place. Your home screen shows all types of information, like your class schedule, assignments, grades, and more. Each of these chunks of information is called a PowerTile, but what you like about it is that you can see details about your progress clearly!   

Seeing your information like this is helpful as you plan your upcoming week. Today, you see an assignment that is due today. You click on the assignment and are directed to PowerSchool Schoology Learning. The assignment details say that you will be doing group work to learn about a guy who lived in a cabin on Walden Pond in Massachusetts.  

Next, you see what you can expect for the day from your chemistry teacher. You see that your assignments were all turned in on time last week, and you smile with satisfaction when you see an A on your last test about the periodic table. 

You’re feeling satisfied. Not only did you do well on your last test, but you are also ready to jump into the Walden assignment. 

A busy parent/caregiver’s week can sometimes feel like a long hike. Between work, home, family duties, and more, it can be overwhelming to sit at the table and review your student’s progress at school, especially with so many logins…usually. 

Today is different. Today, you decide to try out the new MyPowerHub experience. With one login, you see a clean and simple home screen that gives personalized information about your child’s schoolwork. It’s a relief to see all the information on one screen, and it seems like they have been on a journey!   

A day in the life of a district communications leader is always an adventure, and your role is no exception. You know that cohesive school-home communication improves family engagement, and that you can help ease the path toward a thriving school community.  

Whether you are connecting your district to its broader community or giving PD to school staff about best practices for parent-teacher communication, your key role helps set the tone for the communication across your district.
