The Dallas Independent School District's student information system, Chancery, will be replaced with the PowerSchool student information system. PowerSchool provides a unified solution for our parents, teachers, and administration staff. This new system will enhance our current school administration, classroom instruction and family engagement tools. PowerSchool SIS will become the student information system of record for the 2018-2019 school year.

PowerSchool Provides:

• A integrated Teacher Gradebook
• Real-time Parent and Student Portal
• Family Management
• Mobile Solutions
• Course Registration
• PowerScheduler and much more.

What does this mean for Teachers, Students and Central Staff?

Chancery SMS will no longer be our student system of record. Historical data will be migrated to the new system and all new student demographic data will be submitted using PowerSchool SMS. Gradespeed will also be replaced with PowerTeacher Pro.

• Teachers will have a fully integrated gradebook within the student information system within one log in. Teacher will have attendace and grade reporting available in realtime.

• Students will be able to view missing grades, assignments and attendance as soon as teachers click the submit button. Students will continue tohave access to select courses for upcoming academic years all from the student portal.

How will users be trained?
