Error message after logging in via the web
After logging in, an error message appears that states, "An error was detected contacting the server. Please contact customer support if this continues to occur." Once the error message is dismissed, the user is taken back to the login page.
This error message occurs when your IP address changes multiple times per login session. This behavior is not allowed by PowerSchool and so it logs the user out. If you are accessing PowerSchool from home, please contact your local internet provider to find a solution. If you are attempting to access PowerSchool while at work, consider accessing PowerSchool from home instead, or contact your workplace IT department.
