New Student Information System Update 

Parent/Guardian Survey Due Tuesday, November 8, 2022

In late July, Tyler Technologies informed North Allegheny that they were exiting the Student Information System (SIS) business and would no longer support the District's SIS platform. Tyler Technologies gave clients a deadline of the summer of 2023 to move to a new product.

A request for proposal (RFP) was sent to vendors on October 12, and bid proposals were due on November 3. The District hopes to present a final vendor to the NASD Board of School Directors on November 16 for approval. 

Parent/Guardian Survey - Due Tuesday, November 8, 2022, by 11:59 p.m.

• As we evaluate vendors, we ask that you take a few minutes to rate the importance of the inclusion of specific parent portal features in the new SIS from a parent/guardian perspective. Please complete this survey by Tuesday, November 8, 2022, at 11:59 p.m.
• The survey results will be available on our website. 

Visit our website for more information about the District’s process for selecting a new SIS vendor.

iPadOS 16.1 Update Available for iPad

This week Apple released iOS 16.1 which is the newest operating system for iPad and iPhone. This upgrade is available to be installed on your student's District-issued iPad (grades K-8). Please encourage your student to upgrade as soon as possible to ensure compatibility with apps that are being updated.

After upgrading to iPadOS 16.1, most apps should automatically update, however, if your student experiences any issues with an app, it is always best to reinstall the app through the Self-Service app. You and your student may also notice that the wallpaper on the District iPads has been updated to remind everyone of this update.

At this time, Apple has the update to iOS 16.1 as a “forced” update which means that the iPad/iPhone must be plugged in and connected to the Internet with Wi-Fi. Then you must

1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update
2. Upgrade to iOS 16.1

As always, if you have any issues or questions regarding the upgrade or your District device, please contact Technology Services.
