Frequently Asked Questions
How does BrainBridge connect to PowerSchool?
BrainBridge connects through PowerSchool's official plugin architecture and AutoSend SFTP. You can install our plugin directly from the PowerSchool Plugin Store, then configure secure file transfer for nightly data sync. No custom API development is required.
What data does BrainBridge pull from PowerSchool?
BrainBridge imports attendance records, student demographics, class schedules, and optionally grade data. Student names are tokenized during import using our Zero-PII architecture, so identifiable information never reaches our AI models.
How long does PowerSchool integration setup take?
Most schools complete PowerSchool integration in 3-5 business days. Our smart import auto-maps 659+ PowerSchool column variations, eliminating manual field configuration. Districts with complex PowerSchool setups may take 1-2 weeks.
Does BrainBridge work with PowerSchool SIS and PowerSchool Enrollment?
Yes, BrainBridge integrates with both PowerSchool SIS and Enrollment modules. Attendance data flows from SIS, while enrollment data helps BrainBridge understand new student arrivals and transfers.
Will BrainBridge slow down our PowerSchool system?
No. BrainBridge uses nightly batch exports via AutoSend SFTP, which runs outside school hours. The plugin option also uses minimal resources and doesn't impact PowerSchool performance during the school day.
