PowerSchool SIS 23.11.0.0
PowerSchool SIS version 23.11.0.0 is available as of November 9, 2023. This release is considered a minor feature/maintenance release. When the installers are available for download, an announcement will be posted on PowerSchool SIS Release Notification on PowerSchool Community.
Starting with the PowerSchool SIS 24.5.0.0 (Back to School) release, the option to turn off the Enhanced User Interface will be removed and the Enhanced UI will be the only interface available for PowerSchool SIS.
