v26.7.1.0 | PowerSchool Learning and Engagement

Enhancements

Summary	Release Note
Absence Create no longer triggers incorrect discrepancies	Previously, when the Absence Create feature was enabled, students whose absences were reported and created in the SIS before the SafeArrival notification were incorrectly included in the Discrepancy section after the attendance import, even though their absences had already been explained. Now, students whose absences were successfully created in the SIS through Absence Create are correctly recognized during attendance import and are no longer included in the Discrepancy section.
District administrators can review troubleshooting logs	Previously, District administrators who needed to investigate SIS integration issues, attendance writeback problems, or absence creation errors had to contact PowerSchool Support and wait for assistance because troubleshooting logs were only available to internal support staff. Now, District administrators can access and review key troubleshooting logs directly within SafeArrival Admin, including SIS API, Writeback, and Absence Create logs. This allows them to investigate and resolve integration issues independently without waiting for support.
Enhanced multiple-day event date validation	Previously, when users created a calendar event in the SafeArrival Admin site and selected Multiple Day, they could enter the same start and end date, resulting in a one-day event. Now, when users select Multiple Day, the end date automatically defaults to one day after the start date. For example, if the start date is 1/1/2027, the end date automatically populates as 1/2/2027. If users select the same date for both fields, the following validation message is displayed: "The last day of the event must be after the first day."
