Canon-McMillan School District to Introduce Centralized Digital Hub for School Communication
This coming school year, Canon- McMillan School District will introduce MyPowerHub, a convenient one-stop shop for communications from Canon- McMillan schools. The incorporation of MyPowerHub will relieve families and teachers from the hassle of navigating multiple systems for grades, assignments, announcements and other academic information.
Superintendent Dr. Greg Taranto shared that the implementation of the system is a result of stakeholder feedback. In a 2024 survey, over 94 % of parents and over 98 % of teachers and staff responded“ Yes” or“ Maybe” when asked if they would like one platform to receive school communications.
MyPowerHub offers parents, students, teachers and administrators the onestop solution they sought. This platform will include secure newsfeed sharing for photos and announcements, calendars, form submissions, absences, parentteacher two-way communication, grades, assignments, class schedules and more. It is also adapted to work across devices like computers, phones and tablets, with a mobile version compatible with Android and iOS systems.
“ By bringing school forms, important updates and communication tools into one simple platform, parents no longer have to chase down information or navigate multiple systems,” Justin Heckman, Director of Technology at Canon-McMillan School District, said.
“ It saves time, reduces confusion and helps parents feel more connected to what’ s happening at school— all while providing District staff a single entry point in providing the necessary information to all those involved in supporting our student success.” Parents can view their child’ s upcoming, missing and completed assignments. Another unique aspect of the platform is its facilitation of quick two-way communication. Teachers and parents can message each other directly on the platform, and the same messaging system will later include coaches of athletic teams.
MyPowerHub will streamline school communication. Guides will be available for those who have questions about using the platform, and the District’ s dedicated technology team will be on hand to assist with any issues that may arise.
“ MyPowerHub is a transformative extension to PowerSchool, designed to centralize communication, automate workflows and provide real-time data access for everyone in our school community,” Heckman said.“ It ' s a tool designed to make the parent experience easier and more connected, helping them stay informed and involved in their child’ s education.” anon-Mac CANON-MAC SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS
