Important Updates: 

• School staff who previously gained access to Power BI via the MSCS Compass Access App or by reaching out directly to DAIM may potentially no longer have access. Principals and APs can still go in and re-add these people to their school’s access.
   
• School staff with roles that automatically get access to Power BI who are at new locations this year should see their access automatically updated to the new school, as long as their location has also been updated in APECS and Active Directory.
   
• The DAIM MSCS Compass Monthly Newsletter resumed this month. New editions come out on the second Wednesday of each month. In it, you will find information on new and upcoming releases, trainings, and support resources. It is sent to all staff members with Power BI access. You can also see all archived editions on the DAIM Support Hub.
   
• As part of the monthly newsletter, we will resume the Empowering Your Data Story usage campaign. Each month, we will use the newsletter to highlight schools with the highest Power BI usage. The school with the highest percentage of Power Users in Elementary, Middle/K-8, and High will receive a certificate. The school with the highest rate overall for the month will receive a trophy. All winners are highlighted on our Hall of Fame page. Click here for more information about the campaign.
   
• The Rollover Summer Maintenance Process for the 2026-2027 school year has been completed. Dashboards will once again refresh and update regularly. Note that data is updated nightly. So, what you see in the dashboards will reflect the previous day. Please consult the Refresh Schedule on the DAIM Support Hub for more information. 
   
• Due to the transition from i-Ready Diagnostic to i-Ready Inform, the Student Assessment and RTI2-A dashboards will not track or display Fall 2026-27 data. The updated reports will be available for the Winter assessment window. This means that schools will not be able to track completion compliance for i-Ready or RTI Universal Screener/Characteristics of Dyslexia.
   

New Releases:

• A new report for tracking Project Graduation enrollments for students in grades 9-12 is available in the Student Enrollment dashboard. With this report, you can track course enrollments in Project Graduation by subject area, course name, teacher, and room. Check out the user guide for more information. Project Graduation information is also available in the Raw Data, District Quick Report, and Student Report pages. Click here to see all user guides for the Student Enrollment dashboard.
   

Coming Soon:

• Student Attendance will soon include updated at-risk levels for Chronic Absenteeism. This will replace the High, Medium, and Low Risk levels currently available. The new levels will include: Less Than 10 Days Enrolled, Perfect Attendance (attendance rate of 100%), Low Risk (attendance rates of 99.9-95.1%), Medium Risk (95%-90.1%), High Risk (Recovery Possible) (90% or less, but there are enough days in the year left to recover), and High Risk (Recovery Not Possible) (90% or less, and there are not enough days in the year left to recover). This will be available in the Student Attendance dashboard, Student Snapshot, and School Snapshot. The District 360 dashboard will be updated at a later date TBD.  For the Student Attendance user guides, click here.
   
• The Student Discipline dashboard will soon include updated data from the Student Intervention Platform (SIP). This will include the creation of a new Student Intervention Report within the Discipline dashboard, as well as updates to the  District Quick Report, Raw Data, and Student Report pages.  The District 360 dashboard will be updated at a later date TBD.
