​Due to a system upgrade, SESIS will be unavailable from 8:00 p.m. on May 18 to 2:00 a.m. on May 19. During this time, users will not be able to access or fax documents into SESIS. Once the upgrade is complete, you and your staff will be able to view and print Urdu or Arabic translations of the Prior Written Notice documents that result from finalized IEPs in SESIS. In addition, please note that there may be intermittent access to SESIS from 8:00 p.m. on May 27 to 5:00 a.m. on May 28, due to planned system maintenance. If you or your staff plan to use SESIS during this time, you should save your documents frequently to avoid losing your work.
