Student Information Systems
PayK12 Integrates with PowerSchool
PayK12 powered by Ticketracker has joined the PowerSchool ISV Partner Badging System, supporting integration of PayK12 with the PowerSchool student information system.
PayK12
is a cloud-based software platform for collecting, reporting on and
managing school payments and funds. The district-level system supports
integration with existing school management systems and features
dashboard reports with district-wide, real-time sales data and trends;
an online payment parent portal; and cloud-based reporting.
This
integration will enable single sign-on access to PayK12 through the
PowerSchool family portal, so families can make payments without
logging on to a separate PayK12 account. The integration also supports
"real-time, on-demand data transfer between PowerSchool and PayK12,"
according to a news release.
Members of the PowerSchool ISV
Partner Badging System must complete an integration verification
process to become certified for any of the three ISV partner badges,
which include single sign-on, data exchange and seamless user
experience. PayK12 is certified for single sign-on and data exchange.
"The
ISV partner program was created to maximize PowerSchool's support of
teaching and learning with the use of API [application programming
interface] technology, allowing districts to access all of their data
from one central location," said Karin Holtz, VP of alliances and
business development at PowerSchool, in a prepared statement.
