One quick note:

Important: If you are currently a PowerSchool customer who has synced user or roster data to Apple School manager using SFTP, it is critical that you contact me for guidance about how to potentially move forward with SIS integration.

We look forward to your feedback about the new Apple School Manager, and please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
