To enable the feature, select the option to Enable the creation, editing, and deletion of forms on the Teacher Portal. This option is enabled by default. To disable the feature, clear the option and click Submit. When the user logs in to the Teacher portal, they will no longer see the My Forms tab or have access to the New Forms, Edit, and Delete buttons. Prior to disabling this option, admins must ensure that any existing forms created by users on the Teacher portal are either deleted or unpublished. |

Removed Features/Future Deprecation
Feature | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
Deprecation of Cloud Pre-Registration Process | The now legacy Pre-Registration process in the Cloud Enrollment portal is being deprecated. Starting July 1, 2022, all Pre-Registration forms in the Cloud Enrollment portal will only support the current year (i.e., 2022-2023) as the entry year, preventing the use of the Cloud Pre-Registration process for 2023-2024 and beyond. Additionally, the Cloud Enrollment portal itself will be fully deprecated and taken offline on June 30, 2023. Any Cloud Pre-Registration data you wish to transfer to PowerSchool SIS should be transferred before this date. For the 2023-2024 Pre-Registration season, which typically starts February-April 2023, the new Pre-Registration process in PowerSchool SIS must be used. |
