PowerSchool is coming to MCS (Student Management System)

A new student management system called PowerSchool ( Pearson - PowerSchool ) is being implemented at MCS the fall of 2010. Student Managemnt Systems (SMS) are the software used by school distructs to collect and secure student demographics, emergency information, grades, reporting to the communicationg with parents. The current SMS used is based out of Massachusetts and ia not aligned to many reports needing to be filed with NYS Education Department. The Guidance staff is learning the new system to tailor information unique to MCS. The faculty will be trained on using the PowerSchool prior to students arriving in the fall and parents will also be provided with information, as well.
