Powerschool Mobile Apps
Powerschool Mobile Apps – Coming Soon
In a continued effort to strengthen and reinforce the lines of communication between the school and home, the Greater Johnstown School District is excited to share the following information regarding the expansion of Powerschool access to mobile phones through the Apple IPhone device.
“In January 2012, Pearson will launch two new mobile apps: PowerSchool for Parents and PowerSchool for Students.
These new apps will allow parents and students to access all the same information they would normally access from a browser, but with the ease and convenience of an app installed on their Apple mobile device.
Automatic login, a family overview, simplified "one-thumb" browsing, and other features make accessing PowerSchool on the go faster and easier than ever before.
The apps will be FREE and available for download from the Apple iTunes App Store. Version 1.0 of the apps will be supported on any Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad running iOS version 4.0 or higher.”
Please feel free to contact your son or daughter’s school with any questions that you might have regarding access to the Powerschool student information system.
