SAIS Settings
PowerSchool can communicate directly with SAIS, eliminating the need to manually download status or student ID files. Click the appropriate link and PowerSchool will download and import the requested file. Additionally, PowerSchool can be set up to automatically build and send an upload file and then download the result file.

- On the Start Page, click Special Functions. The Special Functions page appears.
- Click Interfaces to other systems. The Interfaces to Other Systems page appears.
- Click SAIS – Arizona Student Accountability Information System. The SAIS page appears.
