PowerSchool Data Integration

Overview

Use PowerSchool Data Integration in Naviance to pull data directly from your PowerSchool student information system (SIS) or your eSchoolPlus SIS into Naviance, ensuring that data in Naviance is correct via turnkey data management.

If you are a new Naviance user, complete the integration setup before importing data in Naviance.

PowerSchool Data Integration is a district-level feature. If you have a school account, contact Naviance Support to get a district account.

Set up Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to use single sign-on (SSO) with PowerSchool Data Integration.

If you are a Clever user who takes advantage of PowerSchool Data Integration for staff or students, you cannot sync staff or student data with Clever. However, you can continue to use Clever for single sign-on (SSO)

1. To set up the Clever SSO experience, create a SAML connection in Naviance and then use the External Link feature in Clever to add Naviance.

2. To retrieve the Naviance link needed for the Clever external link feature, set up student SAML and retrieve the Bookmark URL.
