Dear Potential META PowerSchool Customer,
Thank you for considering PowerSchool as your student information system provider. We understand that choosing a new system for your district can be a daunting task, but we want to assure you that we are here to guide you through every step of the process, including data migration.
At META, we know your district’s data is valuable and must be transferred securely and accurately. Our experienced team of data migration specialists have developed a rigorous process to ensure a seamless transition from your current system to PowerSchool.
Our migration process begins with a kickoff meeting to identify your stakeholders, and to discuss the timeline and identify any potential issues or concerns. Biweekly calls are held as we work closely with your school’s administrators and district leaders to ensure that your specific needs are met and that your data is migrated in a way that is both timely and efficient.
During the data migration process, we use the latest tools and technologies to ensure that all your critical data is safely and accurately transferred to PowerSchool. Working with your district staff, we conduct multiple rounds of data testing to verify the accuracy of the migrated data and ensure the system is working as expected.
We understand that data migration can be a complex and time-consuming process, but we are committed to making it as easy and stress-free as possible for your district. Our team is always available to answer any question you may have, and we provide ongoing support to ensure that your transition to PowerSchool is successful.
Please review the below link for the ideal and suggested timeline that META uses when migrating a district to PowerSchool SIS.
Thank you again for considering PowerSchool as your student information system provider. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help your district achieve its Student Information System goals.
Sincerely,
Sally Rudduck
META PowerSchool Manager
