PowerSchool Outage History

PowerSchool SIS was briefly unavailable for a subset of users, with HTTP 503 errors when accessing PowerSchool SIS. The outage began at 8:27 PM UTC and was resolved by 8:57 PM UTC, lasting about 30 minutes. The PowerSchool status page documented an investigation and ongoing mitigation, and the service returned to normal after the second update. The incident involved the PowerSchool SIS component and coincided with a modest volume of user reports. The provider issued 2 status updates during the incident.

PowerSchool experienced degraded analytics processing due to Analytics & Insights ETL delays after the v25.10.0.1 upgrade, alongside a scheduled maintenance window for PowerSchool SIS State/Provincial Reporting. This led to longer ETL runtimes and intermittent reporting availability across Analytics & Insights and PowerSchool SIS.

Duration: The incident spanned from Dec 8, 2025 3:22 PM UTC to Dec 9, 2025 3:32 PM UTC (about 24 hours). The provider issued 4 status updates during the incident. A SIS maintenance window began at Dec 9, 2025 2:07 AM UTC and the PowerSchool SIS component moved to up by Dec 9, 2025 11:02 AM UTC, while Analytics & Insights ETL progressed and was fully up by Dec 9, 2025 3:32 PM UTC.

PowerSchool experienced a brief outage in the eFinancePlus component, causing 404 errors when users attempted to access the Employee Access Center. The incident began at Dec 8, 2025 2:12 PM UTC and was resolved by Dec 8, 2025 3:12 PM UTC, lasting roughly 1 hour. PowerSchool issued two status updates during the event, describing the investigation and later confirming resolution. The impact appeared limited to the Employee Access Center within eFinancePlus and did not indicate broader platform disruption.

PowerSchool carried out scheduled maintenance on the Unified Talent platform, affecting the Perform Enterprise and Professional Learning components. During this maintenance window, these services were placed in maintenance mode, which could have caused temporary access limitations for users of these two components. The work was planned as part of upgrades and improvements to the Unified Talent suite.

Maintenance began at Dec 8, 2025 5:32 AM UTC and concluded at Dec 8, 2025 11:32 AM UTC, lasting approximately 6 hours. The provider issued 2 status updates during the incident as work progressed, and both components were restored to normal operation by the end of the maintenance window.

PowerSchool SIS experienced login issues during a series of planned maintenance windows spanning 2025-12-06 to 2025-12-07, with OS patching and upgrades affecting Analytics & Insights, Cognos Reporting, eFinancePlus, and BusinessPlus. Some users reported login unavailability in the early hours of 2025-12-07, including locations in New Jersey and Connecticut. The PowerSchool SIS component returned to up by Dec 7, 2025 5:02 PM UTC as maintenance completed for that service, while Analytics & Insights continued through Dec 8, 2025 2:02 AM UTC and came back up. Overall, the incident reflected the expected outcomes of scheduled patches rather than a broader service outage.

PowerSchool conducted a scheduled maintenance window for the MyPowerHub component to deploy release 25.12.0.0. The maintenance started with a status transition to maintenance and was described as in progress on the PowerSchool status page. The window lasted roughly five hours, from Dec 4, 2025 1:02 AM UTC to Dec 4, 2025 6:02 AM UTC. During this period, MyPowerHub was unavailable while the update was applied, and service resumed after the maintenance window closed. The provider issued two status updates during the incident to communicate ongoing maintenance and its completion.

PowerSchool SIS underwent a scheduled maintenance window to deploy State/Provincial Reporting Version 25.12.1.0. Access to PowerSchool SIS was affected during the upgrade, with the service entering maintenance mode for the duration of the window.

PowerSchool conducted a scheduled maintenance window to upgrade the PowerSchool eSchoolPlus SIS SQL servers. Access to the eSchoolPlus SIS service was temporarily affected during the window, with services expected to stabilize after the maintenance. The maintenance began at Nov 29, 2025 4:07 PM UTC and completed by Nov 29, 2025 7:07 PM UTC.

PowerSchool posted two status updates on their status page, announcing the maintenance in progress and then confirming that the maintenance had completed and services were restored. The change affected a single component: PowerSchool eSchoolPlus SIS.
