Welcome to the PowerSchool Community!
We are excited to have you as part of our Community and we have some tips to help you get started. We have topics below for all members and a link to a guide for our Technical (Designated Support) Contacts.
Note: If you are a Technical Contact who submits support cases for your school or district, we recommend reviewing our guide on Getting Started as a Technical Contact.

Accessing our Community
We have some content on our Community that is open to all. This includes resources such as Enrollment Family Support and PowerSchool Mobile Support. We also assist Applicants using our Unified Talent or PeopleAdmin products when applying for a job. Please note: we are not a school website. We are happy to help with product-specific questions. Anything that requires school-level access will require contacting your school or district.
We also have Product Support resources available to those who have been granted access through their school or district. If you run into any access issues, this means we may need to confirm your access with a designated contact from your site. If you have any questions about your level of access, please feel free to post in our Community Forum and our team will be happy to help.
