PowerSchool Unified Classroom Connection Issues
Dear District 103 Parents/Guardians,
We are receiving notice from a number of our D103 families that our PowerSchool Unified Classroom and Learning systems are experiencing connection issues. If you or your child has recently tried to access Unified Classroom or PS Learning, you may have landed on an error page that displays an image of a tangled up kitten. With the unprecedented circumstances our educational system is facing, there is a big push from educators across the country to leverage eLearning systems as a way to provide continuous learning. As the most used student management system in our country, the web traffic going to the PowerSchool servers has increased dramatically. What we, and most PowerSchool customers, are experiencing is a web traffic jam.
I have spoken with the PowerSchool support department directly and they are aware of the negative impact the web traffic jam is causing. PowerSchool has assured me this is their top priority and they are working around the clock to get their services back up and running quickly. PowerSchool offers a “status” webpage, https://status.powerschool.com/, that we are being instructed to follow for updates. PowerSchool has expressed that they expect their services to be up and running again soon. In the meantime, we can only be patient and understanding of the circumstances all PowerSchool districts are facing.
We hope to see Unified Classroom and PowerSchool Learning up and running again soon. In the meantime, please keep an eye on the daily communications from your child’s teacher.
Thank you.
