Hi folks,
We just found out that Microsoft is no more supporting the SDS (School Data Sync) for the PowerSchool SIS. What are the options we have? Is there any other better way to replace the Microsoft SDS Plug-in, if yes, then how can this be done? Thanks
We are in the same boat. Microsoft has just made it more confusing to setup and no clear instructions. Microsoft support was no help at all. For large district it is probably easier as they probably have dedicated staff to deal with it but small districts don't. We might just have teachers create their own teams.
Hi,
With Microsoft discontinuing support for SDS in PowerSchool, you can explore third-party alternatives like Fedena, RosarioSIS, or Schoology. These platforms offer similar functionalities and may provide the integration capabilities you need. Additionally, check PowerSchool’s community forums for shared solutions by other users facing the same issue.

That is what I am thinking we will be doing as well.
Microsoft will support SDS on the new SDS V2 build. The problem I am told is Powerschool has not updated their plugin or integrated a new API to use the new systems yet. MS is ready to add them once Powerschool updates on their end and contacts them with the updated info.
I was told the same thing but if you look at the plugin, Microsoft is the publisher of the plugin and we get the plugin from Microsoft not PowerSchool. If PowerSchool has to fix the plugin how do we find out if it is going to be done?
