P-CCS Technology Status Alerts

We are aware of an issue where the Google Apps Launcher, also known as the “Google Waffle”, is not properly loading all apps. This appears to be a widespread issue as we’ve heard reports of the same problem from other districts across the state.

As a workaround, students and staff can use the Google Workspace Dashboard to access apps normally located under the Google Apps Launcher. This link is also conveniently located in the P-CCS bookmarks for staff to have easy access at all times to the “Waffle”.

We are aware of an issue preventing district telephones’ outbound calling from working. Our team is actively working to identify the root cause and working with our service provider on a solution.

Please note that in-district calling and inbound calling are both still operational. Only calls to phone numbers outside of P-CCS appear to be impacted.

Reports are coming in across the state that some NWEA test admin have difficulty logging into this page – https://start.mapnwea.org/

Those planning to NWEA test today may want to pause their testing OR proceed cautiously and periodically review the NWEA status page for guidance https://status.nwea.org/ (note there often is a time lag in its reporting) to avoid frustration and a bad testing experience.

It appears both some of our district’s test takers and other school districts’ test takers are again experiencing dififculties accessing NWEA for their testing this morning. Those planning to NWEA test today may want to pause their testing OR proceed cautiously and periodically review the NWEA status page for guidance https://status.nwea.org/ (note there often is a time lag in its reporting) to minimize what might otherwise be a bad testing experience for some students.

UPDATE: NWEA reporting they are back up
