PowerSchool is back online, on a new server, with a new version (6.0), and in the new academic year.
Many thanks to Lynn S., who worked on the rollover process until 12:30 AM, got a few hours sleep, then started again at 5:30 AM, to make sure it all went smoothly. Thanks also to Chris B. for configuring the new server and doing some practice runs to make sure all the data was successfully migrated to the new server in record time.
The new server is much faster at data-intensive tasks such as running reports. (For example, transcripts took 38 minutes to complete on the old server, versus just nine minutes on the new server.) PowerSchool 6 has some great new reporting features, better management features, and PowerTeacher 1.6. All in all, this is a major upgrade that was accomplished with minimal disruption. We hope you find the new features helpful.
