Temporarily Pause Grade Sync to PowerSchool District-Wide

[hmarshallpps]

Hi everyone,

Shortly after our grades close, our principals pull some reports that are set up to pull live data from PowerSchool. If teachers enter grades for the following grading period before they pull their reports, it skews the data (a student who might be failing for the year is suddenly passing with a single good homework grade in the next quarter, for example).

Does anyone know if it's safe to disable the automatic grade sync for a few days and then turn it back on without breaking everyone's current set-ups? Can this be used as a "pause" or will it force each teacher to re-setup their sync settings, relink their assignment groups, turn on nightly sync, etc.?

Thanks, Howie
