PowerSchool rollover complete
PowerSchool rollover is now complete. Feel free to begin working on information for the 2008-2009 school year.
PowerSchool rollover in progress; email still down (as planned)
The PowerSchool rollover process is in progress. By tomorrow morning, all students should show up in their correct schools and grades for the 2008-2009 school year.
In other news, the email server is still being worked on, so it is not accessible right now. We still anticipate it will be up by this evening. Further updates as events warrant.

Delays with server migration
We ran into some issues with the server migrations. Netmail is done. The fibre-channel cards for the old servers did not work in the new servers, so we had to buy new ones. Ouch, they were pricey. Now, we are having trouble getting them to work properly with the Linux host OS. They came with a driver disc, and it seemed to install, but isn't recognized for some reason.
We are postponing the remaining server migrations until we figure that out. Also, we will get some consultant help to assist with migrating the email servers to a new VLAN (and therefore new IP address) to get them off the management VLAN. It's a best practice thing.

Email offline today for planned maintenance
As announced for the past couple weeks, district email will be offline today for planned migration to new server hardware.
Things should return to normal sometime today- at the latest by tomorrow, July 11. Updates on any complications or unforeseen glitches will be posted here, since we can't very well send out email notifications that the email server is down. So, if you can't access email, check back here for reports.
