Syncing Schools

To ensure your schools and grades are up-to-date with PowerSchool:

  2. This action will update your schools and grades from PowerSchool automatically.

Important: This sync does not transfer any changes you've made back to PowerSchool. Please be cautious as any custom descriptions or emails could be overwritten.

Adding a new School in PowerSchool

When you add a new school in PowerSchool, it will automatically start syncing with SchoolEngage. You won’t be able to see the new school in SchoolEngage until access has been granted. Once your school is setup in PowerSchool, please reach out to the SchoolEngage team to ensure your access is configured properly.
