PowerSchool SIS 24.2.0.0
PowerSchool SIS version 24.2.0.0 is available as of February 22, 2024. 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. Versions prior to 24.5 will still include the Classic User Interface. To learn more about the Enhanced User Interface, refer to FAQs: PowerSchool SIS Enhanced User Interface Webinar on Community.
Customizations might be affected by the Enhanced UI and may need to be adjusted. Technical Contacts can find Developer resources on the PowerSchool Developer site.
The PowerScheduler Build Server Engine is available for all your scheduling build needs. This engine will run on the PowerSchool SIS instance, allowing Schedulers to build their schedule from anywhere. To access this feature, enable the Engine Builder - Enable Server-Side Engine option on the Scheduling Preferences page for each school.
