On this page:

New Features and Enhancements
Feature or Product Area | Description |
|---|---|
| PowerScheduler | New PowerScheduler desktop build engine installers are now available in Engine Download for both macOS and Windows OS. These new installers will work on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Users can continue to work with the 32-bit engine, but any issues that arise with a desktop engine will be fixed in the 64-bit version. Only the 64-bit desktop version will be included with PowerSchool SIS, starting with this release. |
| Localization | Grade Levels can be localized in more areas of PowerSchool SIS. The following areas have been improved:
|
| Photos | When utilizing a data share, such as in an array, PowerSchool will attempt to use PowerShell to determine the photo location. Previously PowerSchool would create a VBS script that was executed which caused some security solutions to generate a security alert. |
| Setup | The Reporting Term Setup page has been improved to provide a table view of the reporting term setup. The detailed view lists:
This replaces and improves on the Show Reporting Term Setup Dates customization created by Jason Springel of PowerSchool. |
