Mississippi school district pairs PowerSchool
Enrollment with PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) for
increased enrollment and data management efficiencies
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, today announced
Columbus Municipal School District (CMSD) in Columbus, Mississippi
has selected PowerSchool Enrollment as its student enrollment
management system. Paired with the district’s existing PowerSchool
Student Information System (SIS), the addition of PowerSchool
Enrollment has provided CMSD parents and guardians a single
location to facilitate school choice and the lottery process, new
student registration, and the annual student information
update.
“Our district experienced several issues with our previous
enrollment system, including difficulties with data not syncing
properly. As a result, we chose PowerSchool Enrollment knowing that
it natively integrates with our PowerSchool SIS for near effortless
workflows,” said John Cooper Lawton, Director of Information
Systems, Columbus Municipal School District. “The Enrollment
implementation has been smooth as the PowerSchool team worked
diligently to make sure everything was functioning properly. I
truly believe our registration system is better than ever thanks to
their support.”
CMSD noted they are particularly excited PowerSchool Enrollment
will prepopulate form fields for parents who are re-enrolling their
students, which will help ensure the district does not lose any
crucial data. Since 2021, CMSD has worked with PowerSchool to
create and implement new and returning student enrollment forms,
which has included opportunities for CMSD to customize each form
via the PowerSchool Enrollment platform’s self-service
configuration tools. Through this collaboration, CMSD will launch
its new student enrollment forms this summer.
In addition to PowerSchool SIS, CMSD has also used PowerSchool
Unified Talent™ Applicant Tracking and PowerSchool Unified
Classroom® Schoology Learning for several years.
“As seen by Columbus Municipal School District’s use of
PowerSchool SIS and Enrollment, the benefits of using unified
education technology to facilitate student enrollment processes are
clear,” said Maulik Datanwala, Chief Operating Officer,
PowerSchool. “We’re delighted Columbus Municipal has continued to
partner with PowerSchool to facilitate its enrollment processes and
are ready to help the district create more operational efficiencies
moving forward.”
CMSD is located in Columbus, Mississippi, where it serves
approximately 3,300 students across five elementary magnet schools,
one middle school, one high school, and an award-winning technology
center. CMSD is the first school district in Mississippi to offer
school choice to parents and guardians of K-5 students. The
district employs nearly 600 teachers and support personnel.
