We are planning an upgrade to our firewall on Sunday September 25.
This will cause intermittent Internet outages on Sunday while we work.

We expect to have everything operating normally before Monday morning.

PowerSchool Application Restart

At 11:05 AM on April 11, 2011,  the PowerSchool application was restarted because it had become sluggish and unresponsive. 

The server console revealed that the application had a runtime error screen.  Unfortunately, the application was unresponsive so the popup could not be read.  A review of the logs will be necessary to determine the cause of the error.
