During the summer, we will begin our rollover process for the start of the 25-26 school year. 

As a result, dashboards will temporarily stop refreshing on June 30th and will resume in August. This means that the data will not change or update after this date.

New users and employees with new school assignments during that time will not have access until rollover is complete. 

Once rollover is complete, some users may lose access if it was granted via a direct request to the DAIM team or through the MSCS Compass Access App. This is to ensure data security and remove any inactive staff members. Principals can add those people back if they should still have access.
