PowerSchool integration with School Signals lets schools sync student, parent, and teacher data automatically.
Step 1. Provide Your PowerSchool Server Address to School Signals
Share your PowerSchool server address with your School Signals contact.
Districts: provide the district’s PowerSchool server address (e.g.
https://mydistrict.powerschool.com
.Single schools or private schools: provide your school’s PowerSchool server address.
https://school.powerschool.com
.
School Signals will prepare the integration file for you.
Step 2. Download Your PowerSchool Plugin in School Signals
Log in to your School Signals account.
Go to Billing Dashboard > PowerSchool.
Download the PowerSchool plugin ZIP file.
Each plugin file is prepared specifically for your account. Always download it directly from your Billing Dashboard.
If needed, your School Signals contact can also email the file to you.
Step 3. Install the Plugin in PowerSchool
In PowerSchool, go to System Management > Server > Plugin Management Configuration.
Click Install, then upload the plugin ZIP file provided by School Signals.
If prompted, click Register to complete setup. No further action is required on your side.
If PowerSchool instead shows a Client ID and Client Secret (in the case automatic registration wasn't used), provide these generated values securely to your School Signals contact, such as by a phone call or via secure upload link.
Enable the plugin by clicking the Enable/Disabled checkbox in the Installed Plugins page.
Confirm the read-only access rights required by School Signals. ("Are you sure you want to enable the School Signals plugin?")
Please notify School Signals that you have installed the plugin.
Step 4. School Signals will Call the PowerSchool API
School Signals will test the API connection, and get ready to sync your data. Your School Signals contact will reach out to you once the connection is established.
