v25.5.1.0

New versioning format for releases

We have updated the version numbering system for SafeArrival. The new version will follow the format YY.M.Release.Other.

For this example, this is the first release in May 2025 (25.5.1.0).

New SIS Entry Tracking checkbox for SafeArrival

Added a new checkbox to the SafeArrival dashboard to reduce duplicate efforts and improve coordination. When entering attendance information into the Student Information System (SIS), staff can mark the record using this checkbox to indicate it has been processed. The checkbox updates in real time, so other users can immediately see which entries still need attention.

This checkbox appears only when the Explained Absences filter is applied, as Unexplained Absences do not contain information relevant for SIS entry.

Single Sign-On Access to PowerSchool Community

To simplify access for our users, clicking the PowerSchool Community link will redirect them and automatically log them in without entering their credentials. This requires the user to have a valid PowerSchool Community account. If a user does not have a valid account, they can still access PowerSchool Community with limited features.

Attendance report: Incorrect year issue

Under certain circumstances, SafeArrival displayed an incorrect year on an absence report. This has been corrected.

Missing reports after a SafeArrival outreach

Some customers noticed that the SafeArrival report was not showing up in the expected location after they received an email notification indicating that it had been generated. While users could download the report from the email or manually run a report, it did not appear where it normally should. This issue has now been resolved.

Subsequent absences will not be processed when an exception occurs.

Resolved a bug that occurred when a student with a guardian-explained absence was completely unenrolled from the class for which they were reported absent. As a result, SafeArrival was unable to find the absence record in PowerSchool SIS and could not continue writing any further absences back.

SafeArrival continues to successfully process absence write-backs and logs any exceptions that occur.
