Maintenance

Home Base Maintenance Window - November 2023

The next Home Base maintenance weekend is set to begin Friday, November 17th at 5 p.m.  The PowerSchool system is the only application that will be taken offline for service.

 

PowerSchool will be down Friday, November 17th at 5 p.m. with an anticipated return of Saturday,, October 18th, no later than 10 a.m. The application will be made accessible to all users once the maintenance is complete.

 

Note:  Each year, a list of scheduled maintenance windows is 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 2023-2024 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.
