PureData’s PowerSchool Behavior Management Plugin extends your existing SIS with a complete, role-based behavior system. Teachers can quickly log behavior incidents, assign PBIS points, escalate referrals, trigger notifications, and help leadership teams access meaningful behavior analytics without leaving PowerSchool.
The plugin is 100% PowerSchool-native, requires no external login or separate data sync, supports PBIS and discipline workflows, and can be deployed for individual schools or multi-campus district networks.

Pricing, implementation, support, and demo access
Review starting pricing, setup expectations, support details, and the embedded product demo video.
Paper Referral Forms Get Lost
Handwritten discipline slips create gaps in the record. By the time an administrator sees them, context may be lost and follow-through can suffer.
Data Lives in Too Many Places
When behavior data lives in one tool, grades in another, and attendance in PowerSchool, staff do not have one unified picture of a student at risk.
PBIS Reward Tracking Is Manual
Teachers spend valuable time tracking positive points in spreadsheets, manually awarding merits, and reconciling redemption logs.
Parents Hear About Incidents Too Late
Without automated notifications, parents may only learn about behavior issues after they have escalated instead of when early intervention could help.
No Trend Data to Guide Decisions
Without filtered reporting by teacher, grade, incident type, or date range, administrators cannot easily identify systemic patterns or justify interventions.
Student Behavior Incident Entry
Teachers and administrators can log positive, negative, and neutral behavior entries for one or multiple students at the same time. Each log can capture incident type, notes, severity level, and timestamp, with notifications triggered when saved.
Referral Management & Escalation
Escalate behavioral concerns to deans, counselors, or administrators with one click. Referrals can include full incident context, prior log history, recommended consequences, automatic alerts, and real-time resolution tracking.
PBIS Positive Points & Rewards
Assign merit points manually or automatically based on attendance, academic milestones, or good behavior streaks. Group-level and year-level views help support whole-school recognition and PBIS programs.
Reward Store & Purchase Mode
Students can redeem accumulated points for school-defined rewards through a digital purchase mode. Administrators control the reward catalog, point costs, redemption limits, and tracking.
Automated Consequence Management
Define consequence rules once and let the system enforce them consistently. Consequences can be automatically assigned and logged when students meet configured thresholds.
Automated Email Notifications
Configurable notification rules send personalized emails to teachers, parents, students, deans, and counselors based on incident type, category, and severity.
Advanced Behavior Reporting & Analytics
Generate behavior reports filtered by student, teacher, grade level, incident type, date range, or student group. Export data for presentations, MTSS reviews, discipline meetings, or state reporting.
Unified Student Profile
View academic performance, attendance history, and behavior data in one dashboard. Staff can log behavior, review prior referrals, and access intervention insights from a centralized student view.
A Teacher Observes Student Behavior
Without leaving PowerSchool, the teacher opens the Behavior Log Entry form, selects one or multiple students, chooses an incident category, adds notes, and saves the entry.
Notifications Go Out Instantly
Once the log entry is saved, the system sends personalized email notifications to the appropriate stakeholders based on predefined notification rules.
Serious Behaviors Are Escalated
When administrative action is needed, teachers can submit a referral from within PowerSchool. Administrators can review the referral queue, assign consequences, track status, and close the loop.
Leadership Uses Data to Drive Change
Administrators and district leaders can run reports by student, teacher, grade, incident type, date range, or student group to identify patterns and guide intervention planning.
