As are we.  Apparently, it's a scheduled maintenance, but of course we've had an issue with COVID that we need our powerschool access now for in order to contact families and from what I can gather, the maintenance won't be over until 4:00PM...

Figures...

Did anyone receive notification about this maintenance?   I did received notification about maintenance next weekend but I don't recall seeing one for this weekend.

This notification did come out Tuesday November 10th.  Unfortunately, the down time was much longer than usual. (In our case at least 3 1/2 hours.)

Thank you for responding.  I must have missed this notification!

I found this in my inbox... Hopefully, it won't be down as long as they mentioned. That's a long outage with so many dependent on the SIS being up almost at all times, especially with COVID, etc.

Thank you for responding. I had not gotten this notice and neither did Canty who we deal with for PowerSchool. We definitely need it today for a Covid Trace.... 😞

We have the same issue.  Huge problems with PowerSchool Hosted.  We did much better when we ran our own servers.

Thank you.  I don't know how I missed this one.   Our first trimester just ended and faculty are entering grades and comments into the system...deadline is tomorrow morning.   I guess we'll need to extend it.

It came back up for us around 5:30EST, so thankfully we were able to get our message out.  Hope everyone else was able to access it around the same time we were! 🙂
