PowerBI Updates and Releases
Announcements:
Dashboard Rollover has started and is scheduled to be completed July 31st.
As we prepare updates for the new school year, some reports will be temporarily unavailable or will have data refreshes paused (only showing updates as of 6/9). All reports will be available again and will be refreshing normally by the start of school.
New user access will also be paused at this time. For any new users or staff changing building locations- once rollover is complete, access will be updated prior to the start of school. For more information, contact us at DAIMSUPPORT@scsk12.org
School Improvement Plans – because access updates are paused, anyone who needs access to a new school (and already has PowerBI access) will still be able to see data in School Profile. This should help with the completion of SIPs. For more information see this user guide.
BrightBytes will no longer be available for the 23-24 school year. If you have any questions, reach out to the SEED team for more information at 416-6007.

Summer Learning Academy – Attendance Report is now available! Site Administrators, Site Administrator Mentors, and Principals have access. The dashboard refreshes daily at 11:00 am. Check out the user guide and this video for more information!
