For my IL friends. Yes you with the pumpkin spice frosted flakes.

The latest Illinois state reporting update shifted a few accommodations around for ISA. 
If you are using the IARrific or IARrific + ACCESS plugins, make sure to update to version 2.1 after you are running IL state reporting 24.10 or higher.
The optional IAR/ISA backup and clear SQLreports associated with those plugins are also updated.
Finally, the ACCESS accommodations SQLreport associated with the IARrific + ACCESS plugin has been updated to match the change WIDA made to their template this year.

Hope to see some of you at the WI PSUG event next month!

Sometimes a message key isn't found

Listen people. If you are going to make your plugins translatable, your going to screw up some message keys. It's the PowerSchool version of breaking a few eggs, right?

Hence the Today's Bus Notes plugin has a new release that fixes some message keys. And gets a nifty new feature. You can specify per school how teachers/admins interact with the notes. Can they read/write, read-only, or not see them at all, you decide.

For those using the IARrific + ACCESS plugin, you will want to update the accompanying SQLreport used to upload accommodations to WIDA. They changed the layout for 24-25.

Finally, my daughter has announced that she needs a Type O Negative t-shirt for the fall season. I'm so proud.

My two pet ulcers called August and September

Just like that, we are in the thick of it my edu-techie friends.

Well, it's like my old teacher Mr. Payne would say, "Men! Fifty of you are leaving on a mission. Twenty-five of you ain't coming back."
Someone out there is getting this reference.

All right, all right, all right. Couple new plugin versions:

Class Roster Auto-Loader version 3.2
Had to refactor a bunch of stuff so the "fields" links on the class roster report page work correctly. The plugin is now fully translatable as well.

Today's Bus Notes version 2.0
Major overhaul. This plugin had not seen any love in awhile. Cleaned up a lot. Made it so adding/editing of notes happens in a drawer dialog. Previous notes, no longer go on for days. Plugin is now fully translatable. Even changed the bus icon in PowerTeacher so it blended better.
I'm also giving away a 2nd optional plugin which contains a PowerQuery DAT, so you can get a student's bus notes for today on quick exports, list students, object reports, etc.
Why is it a separate plugin you ask? You will have to ask the PowerSchool developers why you can't include a PowerQuery in the same plugin that creates the database extensions you want to query.
