Positive Proof Visitor Management is a school-oriented platform for visitor registration, identification, screening, badge printing, watch lists, campus-presence records, reporting, and emergency-related workflows. It is intended to give front-office staff a consistent process for determining who is entering school facilities.

Districts should verify the exact screening databases, custody and student-release capabilities, check-in hardware, emergency functions, SIS exchange, hosting, support, and retention settings included in their deployment. As with every screening product, a possible match must be reviewed by trained staff under district policy.

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 Predictive Enrollment Analytics, formerly DecisionInsite, is a district enrollment-forecasting and geographic planning platform. It combines current and historical enrollment, student locations, school boundaries, capacities, community demographics, and housing trends to project future enrollment and test operational scenarios.

District leaders use the product to inform budgeting, staffing, facility construction or closure, boundary changes, program placement, and board discussions. This is an operational planning system rather than a whole-student instructional dashboard, but it belongs in the analytics landscape because it converts SIS and demographic data into multiyear resource decisions.

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.

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.

PowerShell is Microsoft’s cross-platform command-line shell and scripting language for administering Windows, Microsoft 365, Azure, devices, servers, directories, and many other systems. District technology teams use scripts and modules to automate repetitive configuration, reporting, account, and deployment work.

It is a technical automation framework rather than a commercial workflow application. Move it to Systems Administration, Automation, or Deployment and Imaging; retain it as a valid tool because districts may rely on locally developed scripts for essential operations.

Paessler PRTG Network Monitor is a general-purpose infrastructure-monitoring platform. It collects status and performance information from networks, servers, applications, cloud services, storage, power systems, environmental sensors, and other devices through protocols and interfaces such as SNMP, flow data, WMI, packet inspection, APIs, and vendor-specific sensors.

District technology teams use PRTG to detect outages, capacity problems, failed services, unusual traffic, certificate or hardware issues, and degraded performance before users submit tickets. It does not replace a security information and event management platform, but its alerts and historical data provide important operational and security context.

QuaverEd is a portfolio of digital curricula rather than one uniform program. It is intended primarily for primarily elementary and middle-grade learners, depending on the licensed music, health, SEL, or other program, with specialist teachers, classroom teachers, students, and curriculum leaders using it to support music, health, social-emotional learning, physical education, and related whole-child subjects.

Teachers use sequenced lessons, songs, videos, interactives, creative activities, assessment, and classroom resources tied to the licensed subject. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

RAAWEE's Truancy and Dropout Prevention System is an attendance-intervention and case-management platform. It helps districts identify students with attendance problems, document outreach and interventions, generate required communications, and maintain a consistent record as cases move from early prevention through more formal truancy processes.

The system addresses chronic absenteeism, truancy compliance, and dropout risk rather than day-to-day classroom behavior management. Its value is in organizing attendance data, timelines, correspondence, and follow-up so school and district staff can intervene earlier and document that required steps occurred.

Raptor is an integrated K–12 school-safety platform spanning visitor and volunteer screening, emergency preparation and response, panic alerting, student and campus movement, accountability, reunification, student wellbeing, threat assessment, and training compliance. Its shared person records and workflows are intended to reduce fragmentation between front-office, safety-team, and emergency operations.

Districts can begin with one Raptor product and add others on the same platform. Because capabilities vary widely—from visitor badges to wearable alerts and behavioral threat assessment—evaluators should identify the exact modules, hardware, 911 and first-responder connections, roster integrations, screening sources, and professional services included in a proposal.

Raptor Visitor Management is a K–12 visitor-screening and campus-entry platform. Front-office staff scan identification, check visitors against configured offender and district databases, review alerts, record the purpose and destination of a visit, print a badge, and maintain a current list of people on campus.

Raptor can connect visitor records with broader emergency, reunification, volunteer, attendance, and safety workflows depending on licensed products. Districts should establish documented false-match review, custody and restricted-person procedures, data-retention limits, emergency use, staff training, and a manual fallback for outages.

Read Naturally is a family of structured reading-intervention programs delivered in print or online. It is intended primarily for developing readers across elementary, secondary, special-education, and adult settings, with students, reading specialists, interventionists, special educators, and teachers using it to support oral-reading fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, comprehension, and progress monitoring.

Students use modeled reading, repeated reading, vocabulary, comprehension questions, and timed or recorded passages with adult feedback. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Readable English is a reading intervention that adds visual pronunciation cues to English text. It is intended primarily for older learners who need explicit support decoding English, with students, interventionists, special educators, multilingual-learner staff, and reading specialists using it to support decoding, pronunciation, fluency, spelling, and independent access to text.

Students learn a visual marking system and practice decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through structured lessons and converted text. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
