Hope everyone had a pleasant holiday. 

<Start Illinois Only>
Decided to upload ACCESS accommodations while the food coma subsides.
Lo and behold WIDA is rejecting my csv file. They have an entirely new template for 23-24!

Perhaps I'm late to the table and you already knew this.
But did you know that I updated the companion SQLreport template to the IARrific + ACCESS plugin?
If you have that plugin installed, and are blissfully collecting ACCESS accommodations in PowerSchool, go ahead and import that new SQLreport template.

It's not exactly a shiny new bike with a big red bow. 
More like the backscratcher you got in your stocking.
</End Illinois Only>

Do you smell that? It's that new site smell. Smells like progress (but really it is caustic chemicals left over from the manufacturing process).
Yes I finally got around to rebuilding the site in a more modern version of PHP.
"But what is in it for me" you ask? Hey! Who said this was about you?!

I'm kidding, come back. 
With this new site you get a much nicer mobile experience.
I've laid a few more traps for the bot hordes. 
And you can finally subscribe to these little news posts if you want to know when the PowerSchool plugins are updated.

Speaking of plugins... You are going to want to update the following. Especially if you are using the new navigation.
Recently corrected a couple bone-headed mistakes:

• List Students Auto-Loader
• Class Roster Auto-Loader
• Staff Shout Outs
   

Stay spooky everyone!

YOU are using the new enhanced navigation in PowerSchool 23.5 or later.
YOU use the IARific, IARific + ACCESS, Instant Family Reps, Staff Shout Outs, Big Registration, or Today's Bus Notes plugins.
YOU should update them plugins!

I mean, you should always be on the look out for new plugin versions.
I'm hoping to make that a bit easier on this site. Stay tuned.
