The Spring 2022
Detroit PowerSchool Summit
Detroit’s Very Own PowerSchool Summit.
The 2022 Spring Detroit PowerSchool Summit is complete! This year, we were back to 100% in-person learning and the summit took place on Tuesday May 24th and Wednesday May 25th, 2022, with an after-hours social event on Tuesday the 24th. The two day summit included two courses or “tracks,” each broken up into four instructional sessions across the two day event.

Personalized, interactive training is the essential ingredient in mastering PowerSchool SIS and is the key to working smarter, not harder. These comprehensive training courses are designed for all experience levels and positions including principals, counselors, registrars, and department heads.
