We learned PowerSchool recently made changes as part of ongoing server upgrades which impacted the credentials used by the PowerSchool plugin. These credentials are now likely invalid, which means districts on the PowerSchool Plugin sync are not working as expected.

What you need to do as soon as possible to restore your sync:

1. Delete the existing Clever plugin from your PowerSchool Plugin Management page.
2. Download the latest version of the plugin from the Sync > Settings page in your Clever Dashboard. This will generate new credentials and securely share them with Clever.
3. Re-install the plugin using these instructions.

Clever has sent out an email to all impacted districts. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support.clever.com
