Our rollover process for the start of the 25-26 school year has been completed for most dashboards.

Be aware that with the start of school, some reports (like those in Student Attendance and Student Assessments) may show “No Data” for some fields. This will resolve once that data is available in PowerSchool and other various data systems.

---------------------------- 
Some non-administrative school staff members may have lost access to Power BI during the summer as part of the yearly maintenance process. This will be anyone who does not get access automatically based on their position title (including teachers).

Principals and APs have access to the MSCS Compass Access App and grant access to the available reports. For more information, click here.

Dashboard Updates:
Reports with data aggregated at the District, School and Board Member level, now also include Region and ILC. This can be found in various District Quick Reports, like in Student Attendance.

The Greatness Starts with Showing Up (formally known as COME to Win) report has been updated in Student Attendance with the new attendance categories (Gold, Silver and Bronze). Historical data from last year is available. New data will populate after each 20-day period ends. See the user guide for more information.

The Daily Attendance Report has been updated to provide a narrative summary of the attendance for a single day. The summary is only visible for Central Office staff and looks at all schools in the District. See the user guide for more information.
