Pear Practice is the Pear Deck Learning practice product formerly called Giant Steps. It is intended primarily for K–12 learners completing teacher-created or standards-aligned practice, with students, teachers, interventionists, and instructional coaches using it to support retrieval practice, feedback, differentiation, and collaborative class routines.

Teachers turn existing materials into practice sets, assign independent work, or facilitate collaborative whole-class practice and review results. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management is an enterprise HR platform for employee records, positions, recruiting, onboarding, payroll, benefits, time and labor, absence, workforce administration, and reporting. Districts and county offices can configure the suite around complex bargaining units, calendars, compensation structures, and approval processes.

PeopleSoft is modular and frequently integrated with finance, identity, document, and reporting systems. The listing should identify the implemented HCM products and version rather than treating PeopleSoft as one uniform configuration.

Oracle PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain Management is an enterprise ERP suite for accounting, budgeting, purchasing, payables, receivables, assets, expenses, grants, projects, cash, and supply-chain operations. Large districts and public agencies use it as a configurable system of record for complex financial and administrative processes.

PeopleSoft can connect finance with the separate PeopleSoft Human Capital Management and Campus Solutions families while supporting workflows, security, approvals, reporting, integrations, and audit trails. It is a broad enterprise platform rather than a K–12-specific finance application, so districts typically configure it around local charts of accounts, bargaining structures, procurement rules, and reporting obligations.

PerfectForms is a no-code platform for building online forms, approval routes, notifications, dashboards, and process applications. Districts can use it for requests, acknowledgments, reviews, routing, and operational data collection when a purpose-built education product is unavailable.

Its flexibility is also its principal implementation burden: the district must design, test, secure, document, and maintain each workflow. It fits Forms and Workflow Automation, but should not be presented as a K–12-specific solution without describing the local configuration.

PowerSchool Performance Matters is a K–12 assessment and instructional analytics platform. Educators create or select standards-aligned items, administer online or paper assessments, score student work, and analyze results by item, standard, class, school, subgroup, or student.

The platform can place local assessment results beside state tests, diagnostics, attendance, behavior, grades, and other measures to provide a broader view of student performance. Its primary purpose is assessment management and instructional decision-making rather than enterprise data warehousing, so it overlaps the Assessment category as much as Data and Analytics.

PermissionClick is a K–12 digital forms, consent, payment, and approval platform in the PowerSchool and SchoolMessenger portfolio. Districts use it to replace paper permission slips, policy acknowledgments, athletic packets, device agreements, registrations, and internal forms with trackable online processes.

The platform can route approvals, retain audit history, report completion, collect signatures or fees, and send forms to families on mobile devices. It is an active product, but its clearest catalog home is Forms, Consent and Approvals rather than a broad Workflow category.

Pixellot is an automated sports-production and streaming platform that uses fixed or mobile camera systems and software to capture games without a full production crew. Schools and athletic organizations can stream events, create recordings and highlights, and distribute video through supported portals, partners, or team workflows.

The system can reduce the staffing required to cover multiple venues, but it introduces important decisions about student consent, public visibility, monetization, takedowns, archival periods, music rights, and who controls recordings. Districts should also document camera placement, connectivity, score integrations, commentary, and accessibility expectations.

PowerSchool Enrollment is the current successor to InfoSnap and provides online enrollment, registration, school-choice, and returning-student data-collection workflows. Families complete configurable forms, upload documents, provide signatures, and receive communications while staff review submissions and prepare records for the district SIS.

Districts use the platform to replace paper packets, reduce duplicate entry, monitor completion, and standardize registration across schools. Product packaging and SIS connections should be documented because PowerSchool offers multiple enrollment products and integrations, and the former InfoSnap brand should no longer be treated as a separate current system.

PowerSchool eSchoolPlus SIS is a district student information system for enrollment, demographics, scheduling, attendance, grades, transcripts, discipline, health, activities, and required reporting. Teacher, student, and family applications provide access to classroom and student information.

The product is positioned for districts that need established administrative workflows and connections across the PowerSchool ecosystem. Districts should distinguish eSchoolPlus from PowerSchool SIS and document which PowerSchool products, portals, integrations, and state-reporting processes are actually deployed.

PowerSchool Performance Matters is a K–12 assessment and analytics platform for building and administering local assessments, managing item banks, scoring responses, and analyzing student performance alongside other district data. It supports classroom through district-level assessment programs.

Teams use it to coordinate common assessments, examine standards mastery and subgroup patterns, and connect assessment findings with intervention and improvement planning. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

PowerSchool SmartFind Express is a K–12 absence-management and substitute-placement system. Employees enter absences, administrators configure job and qualification rules, and the system contacts eligible substitutes so they can review and accept assignments without staff making every placement manually.

The product supports large and complex district substitute pools with customizable contact lists, mobile access, automated callouts, job instructions, reporting, and visibility into unfilled work. Districts should distinguish SmartFind Express from the former TalentEd company name and document any separate PowerSchool HR, payroll, analytics, or single sign-on connections.

Software for managing special education and other student service programs. PowerSchool Special Programs supports plans, service documentation, workflows, and reporting. The exact forms and program coverage depend on the school’s licensed modules and configuration.

Not to be confused with: PowerSchool SIS maintains core student records; Special Programs manages dedicated student service workflows.

PowerSchool BusinessPlus is a K–12 ERP for financial management, budgeting, purchasing, accounts payable, human resources, payroll, position control, and reporting. It supports school-district business operations through an integrated record of accounts, employees, positions, vendors, transactions, and approvals.

Districts can manage budgets and actuals, procure goods and services, process payroll, provide employee and vendor access, and produce financial and compliance reports. PowerSchool offers hosted and on-premises releases, with current product documentation and updates confirming that BusinessPlus remains actively supported.

Prodigy Math is a game-based mathematics practice platform. It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade mathematics learners, with students, teachers, interventionists, and families using it to support standards-based math practice, motivation, assignment, and adaptive review.

Students answer mathematics questions to progress through a fantasy game while teachers assign skills and review performance reports. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
