Maintenance Set for This Weekend

The next Home Base maintenance window is scheduled to begin Friday, May 20.  PowerSchool is currently the only known application that will undergo maintenance. All other Home Base applications will remain available.

The PowerSchool application will be brought down for one night only, Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m. and returned to service by 7 a.m., Saturday morning, May 21. The application will be made accessible to all users once maintenance is complete. Please share this message with other staff as appropriate.

Note:  Each year, a list of scheduled maintenance windows are published by NCDPI. This is published in advance to help teachers and administrators better prepare for temporary outages and loss of access.  Please review the 2022-2023 maintenance schedule and put these dates on your calendar. In most cases, the entire window is not necessary and we can return systems to service earlier than listed. If emergency maintenance is required in addition to these scheduled dates, all users will be notified in advance.

End of Year Processing

The 2021-22 End of Year Process (EOY) is scheduled to begin Wednesday, June 29, at 5 p.m. The student information system will be down for this yearly process. 

School administrators and staff are asked to complete all plans in the NC Educator Evaluation System (NCEES) by June 29  for archival which will take place on June 30.  Please mark your calendars and inform other staff within your schools.
