WSIPC requires three Saturdays during the school year for Skyward SMS database releases. Skyward will be offline starting at 12:01am on Saturday, November 8th and ending at 9:00pm that same day. During this downtime, all Skyward applications are unavailable; including: Student, Finance, Human Resources, Educator Access+, Family & Student Access, New Student Online Enrollment and Skyward mobile applications.
 
It is critical that Finance/HR users DO NOT access Skyward SMS through the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) portal (PaC) until you are able to log into Skyward SMS through the web interface.

Releases which require downtime occur three times per year. For your planning purposes, the next release is scheduled for Saturday, March 14.
