Why isn't my PowerSchool Perform account active?

PowerSchool Perform pulls all of its information from Human Resources' PeopleSoft data daily (at 6:30 am). Staff must have an active status and date for their employee record in PeopleSoft to be able to login to PowerSchool Perform. Reach out to benefits@spps.org to verify you are active in PeopleSoft if you have returned to work and are not active. Once that's done, you will usually have access the next business day. If Benefits confirms that your employee record is properly configured and you still have no access, email sandra.smith@spps.org or report the issue here.

What do I do if PowerSchool Perform lists the wrong school/building/location/name/etc., or if it doesn't show all of my direct reports?

PowerSchool gets this information from PeopleSoft as well. Contact your HR representative to request the corrections you need; once that's done, PowerSchool should show the correct information the following business day.

What do I do if I can't log in to PowerSchool Perform?

PowerSchool Perform access uses your SPPS Active Directory (AD) account information (i.e. eXXXXXX and its password). If you can't log in to Perform, you need to reset your AD password with the assistance of the SPPS Service Desk or an SPPS Field Services technician.
