PowerSchool SIS 24.6.0.0
PowerSchool SIS version 24.6.0.0 is available as of June 25, 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 24.5.0.0 release, the option to turn off the Enhanced User Interface is removed, and the Enhanced UI is the only interface available for PowerSchool SIS.

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.
