1EdTech Recognizes Prince William County Public Schools for its Excellence in Improving Student Attendance

Published

Through its partnership with SchoolStatus, Prince William County Public Schools has increased student attendance and graduation rates

RIDGELAND, Miss., June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SchoolStatus, a leader in K-12 data-driven solutions that empower student success, today announced that the company and their partner district, Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS), were awarded a silver-level Learning Impact Award from 1EdTech Consortium (1EdTech), for their innovative collaboration on the “Focused Student Support” dashboard and the positive impact that it has had on PWCS students, educators and administrators.

1EdTech’s annual Learning Impact Awards are conducted globally to recognize evidence-based breakthrough digital learning solutions, partnerships, and bold strategies implemented in an educational setting to power unlimited potential in every learner. The awards are judged on their impact on personalized learning, institutional performance, and the digital learning ecosystem.

PWCS established a goal of a 95% on-time graduation rate for all students by 2025. To help meet this goal, the district partnered with SchoolStatus to develop an integrated dashboard merging data analytics and communication tools for educators. This initiative aligns with PWCS’ Strategic Plan to improve graduation rates, enhance student performance in reading and math, and decrease chronic absenteeism and dropout rates among key student demographics. To date, PWCS has seen double-digit declines in chronic absenteeism; the graduation rate outcomes for the 2023-24 school year will be known by August.

“The customized dashboard from SchoolStatus has been a game-changer for our district,” said AJ Phillips, Director of Information and Instructional Technology at Prince William County Public Schools. “Having all of our students’ information in one place allows us to quickly and easily identify which students need intervention and support. With limited resources, the real-time data insights provided by the dashboard are invaluable, helping us to see how students are performing across various categories. This tool, designed with educators and administrators in mind, has significantly enhanced our ability to support our students effectively.”

“This achievement is a remarkable testament to the outstanding efforts within PWCS, showcasing their commitment to supporting ‘every student by name and by need,’ and their admirable goal of achieving a 95% on-time graduation rate for all students. We are deeply honored to be part of this journey,” said Russ Davis, Founder and CEO of SchoolStatus.

Award winners are selected after presentations and interviews with educators from K-12 and higher education, and evaluations from Learning Impact conference attendees and the edtech community at large.

“1EdTech’s Learning Impact Awards highlight the most effective uses of innovative teaching and learning technology in practice,” said Sandra DeCastro, vice president of marketing and higher education programs for 1EdTech. “We congratulate all of this year’s winners who showcased projects that offer clear evidence of enhancing learning impact and outcomes and can inspire others.”

Eight projects worldwide earned a Learning Impact Award in 2024. A complete list of award winners can be found here, including project videos and case studies.

Designed exclusively for Apple Vision Pro, Lowe’s Style Studio™ empowers customers to visualize and experience a kitchen refresh in minutes at five Bay Area stores starting April 26

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning Saturday, April 26, Lowe’s stores in northern California will offer free appointments for Lowe’s Style Studio™, an immersive 3D experience that lets customers design and “try on” their dream kitchen using Apple Vision Pro, changing the colors, styles, and features around them in real time. Lowe’s Style Studio™ combines spatial computing with home improvement, giving customers the ultimate confidence of experiencing their dream kitchen—or a smaller project like a new sink or wall color —before actually renovating it.

“We try on clothes, sample paint colors, and test drive cars to help us decide before we buy,” said Chandhu Nair, Lowe’s SVP of Data, AI and Innovation. “Customers deserve that same confidence when it comes to home renovation. With Lowe’s Style Studio, consumers don’t have to guess what their new kitchen could look like—they can step into it and experience their style choices together as if they are actually there. This is the future of retail—personal, immersive, and powered by technology.”

Lowe’s shoppers can focus on a single aspect of the kitchen—like a new cabinet color—or reimagine the entire room using Lowe’s Style Studio™ for Apple Vision Pro. Within the experience they can view full-sized countertops, backsplashes, and appliances within a kitchen, all for free. This is particularly helpful for products like countertops, where a full scale rendering allows customers to see additional variation and veining. Whether it’s a major overhaul or a small refresh, Lowe’s Style Studio™ makes it easy to explore design possibilities before spending a dime.

The pressure to get kitchen remodels right impacts DIYers and the Pros that support them. Interior designers, real estate agents, and installers have used Lowe’s Style Studio™ to help clients feel more comfortable with their design selections. By turning ideas into immersive, shared experiences, the tool brings everyone to the table with clarity and confidence—and with Lowe’s lowest price guarantee, customers can feel good about their choices from every angle. Spatial computing seamlessly blends digital content into the physical space, enabling users to interact in stunning resolution, using intuitive input controlled by a user’s eyes and hands.

Customers are encouraged to bring family members or home professionals to their session, where they can follow along on an iPad that mirrors the Apple Vision Pro experience. Customers can then digitally save and share their selected styles at the end of the session. These can also be saved to the customer’s Lowes.com account for future reference at home.

Sessions are free with no purchase commitments and available by appointment or walk-in (appointments are preferred). Appointments can be made at Lowes.com for the following California stores:
