Secure access to all data at San Diego Unified is paramount and is controlled by several layers of security to enable or disable access to all users logging into district applications. Once users log into an application, the level of data presented is primarily based on job classification/role, e.g., area superintendents see all student data for all sites, principals see data for students enrolled at their school location, and teachers see data for the students in the classes they teach. Requests for exceptions to the classification/role permissions are described in the sections on individual applications.
Here is a list of district applications and information regarding requests for access:

The training prerequisite for access to PowerSchool is the Introduction to PowerSchool course. Sign up in Professional Learning.

District wide, read-only access can be provided in PowerSchool to San Diego Unified employees who need to see student information but do not need to make changes.
