PowerSchool SIS 23.1.0.0

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:

• The Health Screening pages allow for Grade Levels -3, 13, 14, and 15.

• The Grade Level text in the Health Screening pages is now localizable.

• Student screens have been updated to show the localized text. For example, previously a Kindergarten student would show as 0 on the detail header on the student screens. The value will now display as K.

• The Grade Level category on the Localize PowerSchool Data page now includes all grades based on the school's low and high grade values.

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:

• Term Name

• Reporting Term

• Start Date

• End Date

• Suppress Letter Grade/Percent

• Calendar Days

  • The number of days between the Start and End Date

• In-Session Days

  • The number of in-session days between the Start and End Date

This replaces and improves on the Show Reporting Term Setup Dates customization created by Jason Springel of PowerSchool.
