New Features & Updates
PowerSchool SIS Attendance Tool
- We added the ability for instructors to take attendance in Schoology using PowerSchool SIS Attendance tools. Instead of taking attendance using different sets of tools, instructors can use the same attendance tools they have access to in PowerSchool, all within Schoology courses.
- Unifying PowerSchool SIS Attendance tools with Schoology means a deeper and more streamlined experience for instructors so that PowerSchool SIS and Schoology work better together.
