PowerSchool Integration FAQ
Does this work with PowerSchool SIS cloud or on-premise?
Both! SchoolNIMBUS Cloud integration supports PowerSchool Cloud (hosted by Pearson) and on-premise PowerSchool installations. The setup process is nearly identical for both versions.
Will parents need a separate login for SchoolNIMBUS Cloud?
No. Parents use their existing PowerSchool credentials through OAuth 2.0 single sign-on. They never create a separate SchoolNIMBUS Cloud account, and we never store their PowerSchool passwords.
How often does student data sync from PowerSchool?
Student roster data syncs to SchoolNIMBUS Cloud every night at 2 AM automatically. You can also trigger manual syncs anytime from the SchoolNIMBUS Cloud admin panel. Changes like new enrollments appear within 24 hours.
What happens if a student transfers or withdraws?
When a student becomes inactive in PowerSchool, they automatically become inactive in SchoolNIMBUS Cloud. Their historical documents remain accessible to authorized staff but parents can no longer upload new files.
Can we customize which parents have access?
Yes. SchoolNIMBUS Cloud respects PowerSchool family access settings. If a parent does not have access to a student in PowerSchool, they will not see that student in SchoolNIMBUS Cloud either.
Is there a cost for the PowerSchool plugin?
No. The PowerSchool plugin is included free with every SchoolNIMBUS Cloud subscription. You only pay for the base platform (starting at $2,000/year for small districts).
